Electronic – Finding matching male / female connectors

connector

I've been having trouble finding pairs of connectors. I need a set up exactly like https://www.artekit.eu/products/prototyping/wires/jst-ph-4-pin-cable-with-male-female-connector/

However, I need to buy the male and female parts separately. So, I'm looking at male connectors like https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/jst-sales-america-inc/S4B-ZR-LF-SN/455-1671-ND/926578

But then how, having just the male connector, do I go about finding a female connector which I know will fit into the male connector?

I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to verify my connectors will fit correctly. I would think the male and females would be linked in some manner that I'm missing?

On the web catalogue page you linked is a link to the manufacturer's datasheet for the ZH series connectors. This will contain tables of all the compatible connectors in the range.

Figure 1. Top and side-entry versions with through-hole or SMT options.

Choose the orientation you require (top / side entry, etc.) and the number of ways and you will find your part numbers.

Then return to Digikey and search for the ZH part numbers.
