Some JST surface-mount headers are designed to handle higher temperatures of reflow soldering. Used in some RGB LED decorative light strips.Ī majority of JST through-hole headers can't withstand the temperatures required for reflow soldering, because the plastic has a lower melting point since they were designed for wave soldering methods. The PCB (wire-to-board) connectors are available in top (vertical) or side (horizontal) entry, and through-hole or surface-mount. JST manufactures a large number of series (families) of connectors. The term "JST" is sometimes incorrectly used as a vernacular term meaning any small white electrical connector mounted on PCBs. JST connectors are used in many types of products, and commonly used by electronics hobbyists and consumer products for rechargeable battery packs, battery balancers, battery eliminator circuits, 3D printers, and radio controlled servos. JST manufactures numerous series (families) and pitches (pin-to-pin distance) of connectors. JST connectors are electrical connectors manufactured to the design standards originally developed by J.S.T. If you just want to test the fan you can poke a couple of wire wrap wires in there, but that's likely to come apart, so only do it with a power supply that can tolerate a short circuit.2.50 mm JST-XH top-entry (vertical) male PCB connectors Realistically, just cut off the connector and splice on something more suitable. You could attempt to solder extremely fine wires to the surface mount contact tails visible in your picture, cover them with tiny heatshrink, etc, but this is likely to be extremely challenging and fragile - you'll need a soldering microscope, and a fair amount of luck and skill to get it done without melting the contacts out of position in the housing.

Beware that even if you find the parts for a free hanging micro connector, doing crimps at this tiny scale will be challenging with a universal crimper, while the designed tool could well cost between several hundred and over a thousand dollars.

It is not clear that a "free hanging" male pins connector housing exists in this family in the way that they do for some others - for example, free hanging contacts of both genders are relatively well known in the slightly larger 1.25mm Molex picoblade family, and get used a lot as battery connectors for tiny flying toys. The JST SH connector family series is described as a "wire to board" family, and the the male pins connector you picture is is intended for surface mounting to a board.
