JST connectors are electrical connectors manufactured to the design standards originally developed by J.S.T. Mfg. Co. (Japan Solderless Terminal)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JST_connector

JST manufactures numerous series (families) and pitches (pin-to-pin distance) of connectors

commonly used by electronics hobbyists and consumer products for rechargeable battery packs, battery balancers, battery eliminator circuits, 3D printers, and radio controlled servos

JST" is sometimes incorrectly used as a vernacular term meaning any small white electrical connector mounted on PCBs.

JST Is Not A Connector

simple two pin wire-to-wire connector is probably the RCY series.

pitch: the distance between pins.

We start with the JST XH series. Its pitch of 2.5 mm is effectively identical to the 0.1″ pitch commonly found on prototyping breadboards. After the XH series, the pin pitch gets narrower, the wires get thinner, and the connectors are more fragile through PH (2.0 mm), ZH (1.5 mm), GH (1.25 mm), and SH (1.0 mm). The SH series are so small that JST specified optional protrusions to give us something to hold

keep in mind the possibility that it might not be a JST connector at all.

The Molex PicoBlade is a 1.25 mm pitch connector frequently confused with JST GH in the same pitch.

gain experience with connectors, we’ll make better guesses based on context

backyard-friendly hobby aircraft ecosystem (airplane, helicopter, and multi-rotor) uses many connectors designed by JST with Molex as a smaller player. The situation is reversed in PC components where Molex designed most of the connectors in that ecosystem.
