I have a project I’m doing where a small hobby board has connectors for different things, including LEDs. I don’t want to use the original LED strip, and would like to make a single LED that plugs into the board instead, but I don’t know how to identify/find this connector. Can anyone help?

That’s what I was thinking, and somehow stumbled into this right after posting. it looks much closer to the shape of the connector https://tinycircuits.com/products/jst-sh-2-pin-connector?variant=55022349895¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOorg-Wh2nrGks_kktyhZaXNQ5tGwCNVpqTVdqOvcaC-65Lbg_TL0KP4
Is there a way to measure/get identifiable info for it to ensure i’m looking up the right connectors and not just plugging in whatever string of keywords i think might pull it up?
It looks to me like a JST SH connector: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/10357
Measure the distance between the two pins - if it is 1 mm, this is most likely the connector you’re looking for.
it’s 1mm between the leads! 🙌 thank you for your help!
Almost positive that’s a JST-SH connector. Also, the metric side would probably be better to measure with.
You have a good length of wire. Why not just cut it and reuse the connector?
Uh, you may want to return that ruler. On the left side in the picture, the measurements seem to be all kinds of fucked up
It’s pretty common for rulers to have the first inch split into 1/32 increments but the rest into 1/16 increments
Inches? What is that? What do you measure in these “inches”?
Mostly penis length
It’s a fantasy unit you can use when writing a story about dragons and wizards. Sort of like this:
In the harmonious town of Metricville, life was a symphony of simplicity and precision. Every measurement, from the smallest millimeter to the grandest kilometer, was a multiple of 1000. This elegant system made calculations a breeze, fostering advancements in science and technology. The townspeople thrived, their lives intertwined with the beauty of sensible units.
However, in the shadowy town of Chaosburg, an evil necromancer named Malgath seethed with envy. He despised Metricville’s success and the clarity their units brought. Driven by hatred, Malgath devised a sinister plan to plunge Metricville into confusion.
One stormy night, Malgath cast a Foul Spell of Demonic Confusion over Metricville. The once orderly units twisted and warped into a chaotic mess. Millimeters became inches, meters turned into feet, and liters morphed into gallons. The multiples between units were no longer a neat 1000 but a bewildering array of 12, 14, 21, or anything Malgath desired.
The townspeople awoke to a nightmare. Simple tasks became arduous challenges. Architects struggled to design buildings, scientists found their experiments in disarray, and even cooking a meal became a perplexing ordeal. The once thriving town was now mired in confusion and frustration.
