What is the part-number for the 6-pin connector used on the AS5048A breakout board?

Hi all!

I am currently designing a PCB to interface with a GM3506 gimbal motor and the AS5048A position sensor (https://eu.robotshop.com/de/products/ipower-motor-gm3506-burstenloser-kardanmotor-mit-as5048a-encoder). Unfortunately the store pages for the GM3506 + AS5048A combo or the AS5048 sensor alone don’t mention the partnumber of the connector used on the sensor cable. I suspect that it’s a 6-pin, 1mm pitched JST connector but I’d like to be sure before I risk a board spin.

So, as the title says: What is the part-number for the 6-pin connector used on the AS5048A breakout board?

Much appreciated!

The AS5048A position sensor paired with the GM3506 gimbal motor generally uses a 6-pin JST-GH connector with a 1.25 mm pitch. This connector is commonly used for connecting the sensor to microcontrollers or other interfacing boards, especially in robotics and motor control applications. It is distinct from the more common 1.0 mm pitch JST-SH connectors that are also sometimes seen on small embedded devices, but the 1.25 mm GH series is standard for AS5048A setups, as reported by several users interfacing the sensor with various microcontrollers.
