Hello!  
I have researched this a bit but need to ask the professionals.  
This belongs to a Tajima Embroidery machine from the mid 2000s. Japan built.

Can anyone help me identify the connector and the pins that go with it?  
The Connector reads JSTH

The pin reads 5JST0

I’m about to stick some rectangular header pins into that socket, but i would love to have a complete repair.

Thanks for any input!

Hello @matt.girouard

Take a look at the [PHR-3](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/jst-sales-america-inc/PHR-3/527357) There are some similar products from JST if the pitch is not right.

Contacts can be found in the associated products depending on wire size and plating.

Incredible thanks so much

Will these crimped terminals work in this connector? They were in associated products but the cart was being glitchy with the bare terminals.

Hello matt.girouard,

Yes, it does appear that those would work together. We also have all of the pre-crimped leads linked [HERE](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/jumper-wires-pre-crimped-leads/453?s=N4Ig7CBcoIYE5QIwA5ECYA0IYBcoBYsAHASygFY0wBmcsAX3qA) should work with that PHR-3 connector.

The wires that are currently on there are 26AWG.

Would this still be ok to repair this harness?
