Lookalikes and how to tell them apart
No latch: a small ramp holds it by friction. GH has the same pitch and a latch; SH (1.0 mm) is smaller and ZH (1.5 mm) larger.
| Connector | Pitch | Latch | Per contact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Molex PicoBlade | 1.25 mm | no, held by friction | 1 A |
| JST GH | 1.25 mm | yes, a tab to press | 1 A |
| Hirose DF13 | 1.25 mm | no, held by friction | 1 A |
| JST ZH | 1.5 mm | no, held by friction | 1 A |
Before you plug it in
Crimp terminals need the crimper die made for their size: pliers crush them and the contact works loose. Housings and terminals of different series don’t mix, even at the same pitch.
The current rating is a maximum per contact, at the wire size the maker states. With thinner wire, or with every contact carrying current, stay well below it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the pitch of the Molex PicoBlade connector?
1.25 mm between the centres of two neighbouring contacts.
How much current can a Molex PicoBlade connector carry?
1 A per contact with AWG 26 wire, at up to 125 V, according to Molex.
Figures from the makers’ catalogues and datasheets. Ratings are maxima: derate for thin wire and for many loaded contacts.
