User: What kind of electrical connector is this?

What kind of electrical connector is this?

Assistant: From the photos, this appears to be a JST-SM series, 2-pin connector.

From the photos, this appears to be a JST-SM series, 2-pin connector.

Why this matches:

• Black housing (JST-SM are commonly black, unlike JST-XH which are usually white)
• 2-position, single-row
• Positive locking latch (the rectangular latch window you can see)
• Small wire gauge typical of low-voltage signal or power leads
• One side is shrouded, the other side shows the female terminals inside

Common uses

• LED light strips and controllers
• Low-voltage DC accessories (5–24 V)
• Sensors, small fans, cameras, hobby electronics

Notes

• They are polarized (can’t be plugged in backwards)
• Typical current rating: ~2–3 A per pin (varies by wire gauge)
• Often sold as “JST-SM 2P male/female pigtail”

If you want, tell me what device it came from (vehicle accessory, LED, camera, etc.), and I can confirm pinout or help you find the exact replacement.
