PH2.0 Connector Guide: Compare 8 Small Battery Connector Types
YDL batteries use the PH2.0-2P (JST PH Series) connector as the default option for many small LiPo battery packs. Custom connectors are available. If you need a different connector, contact us before placing your order.

Default Connector: PH2.0-2P (JST PH Series)

The PH2.0-2P connector is widely used for 3.7V lithium polymer batteries, compact electronic products, RC devices, GPS trackers, sensors, and small rechargeable battery packs. Before ordering a replacement battery, please confirm the connector type, pitch, pin count, wire length, and wire polarity.

Other Available Battery Connectors

Small battery connectors can look similar, but the pitch, housing shape, and polarity may be different. Use the connector photos below as a reference when comparing your original battery. Four of the housings below also include an interactive 3D model built from the manufacturer CAD file, so you can rotate the part and check the locking side and terminal cavities against your own connector.

The interactive 3D models on this page were generated from manufacturer-published CAD files for the PHR-2, 51021-0200, XHP-2, SHR-02V-S-B, and ZHR-2 housings. Dimensions shown under each model are the overall housing bounding size measured from that CAD geometry.

How to Choose the Correct Battery Connector

Check Item What to Confirm
Connector pitch Measure the distance between the center of the two pins.
Pin count Confirm whether the connector is 2-pin, 3-pin, or another configuration.
Housing shape Compare the shape and locking direction with your original battery connector. Rotate the interactive 3D models above to check the locking side and terminal cavities.
Wire polarity Confirm positive and negative wire sequence before connecting the battery.
Wire length Make sure the wire length and wire gauge fit your device assembly.
Important: When ordering custom batteries, it is essential to confirm the wire sequence after selecting the connector terminal. Read our guide: A Clear Guide to Lithium Battery Wire Sequence.

Small Battery Connector FAQ

What is the pitch of a JST PH connector?

JST specifies the PH series at 2.0 mm pitch. Confirm the full housing, terminal, and mating-header part numbers rather than relying on appearance alone.

Is JST XH a 2.54 mm connector?

JST's official XH specification uses a 2.5 mm pitch. Some marketplace listings use 2.54 mm loosely, so verify the manufacturer part number and dimensions before ordering.

Can two similar-looking 2-pin connectors be interchanged?

Not safely by appearance alone. Confirm pitch, keying, pin count, mating direction, wire length, and polarity before connecting a replacement battery.

How do I use the 3D models on this page?

Drag to rotate, then scroll or pinch to zoom. Compare the locking side, the terminal cavity openings, and the overall proportions with your own connector. The models show the housing only, so also confirm pitch and polarity against the tables above.
