JST SH vs JST GH family

SH is nominal 1.0 mm and friction-lock; GH is nominal 1.25 mm with a secure-lock design. Mating still depends on the exact housing and header.

How they differ

JST SH miniature wire-to-board connector family Check the full housing/header part numbers and latch style rather than guessing from size in a macro photograph.
JST GH secure-lock wire-to-board connector family Look for the housing’s latch structure and check the matching GH part numbers rather than relying on the pitch or cable color alone.

JST PH vs JST XH familyManufacturer nominal pitches differ (2.0 mm PH and 2.5 mm XH). Similar white housings are not interchangeable by eye; verify exact part-code pairs.BNC vs TNC coaxial connectorsBNC uses bayonet coupling while TNC uses threaded coupling. Connector family, impedance and application still need to be verified independently.DisplayPort connector vs DisplayPort 2.1The full-size DisplayPort connector does not identify the implemented DisplayPort generation, link rate or optional features.DisplayPort vs Mini DisplayPortFull-size DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort are different physical forms. Mini DisplayPort shape also appeared on Thunderbolt 1/2 products, so function still needs device evidence.DVI-D dual-link vs DVI-I dual-linkDVI-D and DVI-I use related shells but have different contact arrangements. The analog-contact area is a key physical distinction.DVI-D single-link vs DVI-D dual-linkBoth are DVI-D forms, but their contact patterns differ. Inspect the complete pin field instead of relying on the DVI label alone.
