The bias is baked in...[edit]

This article is clearly written, or at least heavily massaged by, a JST employee. The idea that "JST connector" is purely a misnomer doesn't accord with any other such use in the realm of PCs (e.g. "Molex connector"). You cannot fight popular usage! — Preceding unsigned comment added by HuntClubJoe (talk • contribs) 00:42, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously you don't have a clue, nor have you read my BIO, because I've never worked for JST nor any connector company or reseller of connectors. I wrote this article because of the confusion in many internet blogs calling almost any white sub-2.54mm connector a "JST connector". • Sbmeirow • Talk • 11:11, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't a JST corporate wikipedia article, so it's fine to put a minimum amount of information about it in this article, because it's a related topic and good background information. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 11:32, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Grove connectors?[edit]

I note that Wikipedia doesn't have a page for the Grove system, which I think use JST connectors which are referred to as Grove connectors. I'm not the person to write it but I wanted to point out the omission.

Addendum: It looks like it is a proprietary modification of a JST-PH-2.0 with a tweak to the locking mechanism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.10.40.210 (talk) 00:35, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but the Grove connector isn't a JST connector, so it doesn't belong here. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 17:12, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Links 1 and 23 no longer work...[edit]

I noticed that the link in the JST article do not work. Eg. Link 1 the company profile gets a 404 as does link 23 to an article which connector to chose. Unsure waht the new links should point to as the former site is Japanese and the later site error is a hosting failure. Happy to update in line with recommendations. I wanted to check before making changes.

The link for company profiles in English is http://www.jst-mfg.com/profile/index.php?lang=en_US its an odd page as the menus only appear when you hover over region on the map of the world

Catalogues on the site appear to need flash eg. http://www.jst-mfg.com/product/pageview/connector_e/upgrade/index.html which I do not have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seth.Rogers (talk • contribs) 12:28, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
