Connector identification ask: for $DAYJOB, She has a bunch of these sensors which all use LP402025-150 LiPo batteries. They’re all about 10 years old, and they’ve all turned into the cutest little spicy pillows.

I know I can get replacements but don’t know what kind of connector this is - obviously not a JST, it’s a “push down to clip in”, “pull up to detach” thing.

Does anyone, perhaps @jpm or @xssfox recognise this?

@jpm @xssfox aha! I think I might have found it. That last one was the help -- searching on RS components for a 1.2mm pitch 3-pin connector and it's a Molex Pico-Ezmate apparently. https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-headers/7000824P

Challenge now might be to find 402025 150mAh batteries with this connector already installed

@nonspecialist @xssfox AliExpress gotchu fam. Contact these folks and see if they can do a special order run using this connector and the wiring polarity you need.

@jpm @xssfox sweet! Thanks I'll check them out. I need 16 of them so with spares, a round 20. Probably not worth getting a double order, they should last a few years and this kit will perhaps be obsolete by then

@nonspecialist @xssfox at the very least, as someone else has suggested, you can just buy these pigtails directly and attach them to the cells yourself.
