I want to buy some replacement batteries and the best priced ones come with bare wires. I would therefore need to attach my own connector to the end.

What is the name if this type of connector and how can I go about identifying this one specifically (which parts do I measure)? I will also need the metal clips that attach to the wires. What are those called and what kind if tool would I need to attach them?

  • That type of battery is often supplied with some form of connector from JST, which might help you find it. – Hearth Oct 12 '18 at 00:22
  • Unless you're doing a lot of these, your best bet might be to spend extra money for the pre-installed connectors. The crimping tools can be expensive. See [here](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/158725/38335) for general information on how to crimp/assemble similar connectors. – bitsmack Oct 12 '18 at 07:14

This is a 1mm pitch micro JST "SH" connector (part number SHR-02V-S-B) and is available from DigiKey.

SH is the name of a specific series of connectors by JST Sales America, Inc.

    SH stands for Super Hard to disconnect without breaking them. – Passerby Oct 12 '18 at 14:07

    @Passerby So true! I often use a tiny flat-bladed screwdriver to work these out to avoid ripping the wires from the terminals. – evildemonic Oct 12 '18 at 15:12
  • I couldn't fit even my smallest precision flat head in there to free the cable. I ended up having to use an x-acto knife to get in there and pull away locking mechanism. I wonder if there is an easier way. – Zhro Oct 12 '18 at 16:13
