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.↗JST SH vs JST GH familySH 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.↗
