Help identifying JST connectors for MTH Accessory

Kevin MacDowellOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hello all!

Can someone help me ID the JST connectors in the attached pictures. I'm not sure if they are JST-PH, JST-EH or JST-XH ...nor do I know the pitch in mm. These connectors are for a MTH Steel Arch Bridge (40-1031) beacon light. The female plug goes from the beacon bulb to a male socket on the control board in the base of a pier. I'm not using the piers...I plan to make an extension cord and mount the control board about 3' away under the layout. I also do not want to cut/splice the wire in case I someday decide to sell the bridge...would like to keep it original.

If I can nail-down the spec on the connector type, I'm hoping to buy compatible male/female connectors with pigtails ready to go. I would prefer not to mess with sockets, plugs and crimping. I've done a lot of searching on the forum today, lots of good info on JST connectors for engine wiring harness applications but not many search hits for MTH accessory connectors.

Thanks!

Kevin Mac

Those are not JST connectors, they Molex Mini-SPOX connectors.

Boy, I feel like a dunce right now! crazy

John, I was hoping you would see this, reply and set me on the right course! Thanks for the DigiKey link...I guess I'm not going to be able to avoid crimping and magnifying glasses.

Funny, I was on DigiKey last night snooping around looking at Mini-SPOX connectors but never came across this link/page you sent through! Thank you much.

You can, you just pay slightly more. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5D15QX1

Contains both pre-crimped wires and matching mating socket you can solder. 10 pairs, $10

Thanks Vernon...this is what I was hoping find, pre-built and ready to go. I can use the extra leads/sockets for other wiring projects around the layout.

You guys are great! Thank you thank you.
