Looking to replace the male connector in this picture. Any idea what it is called and where I can get it? I'm in Germany.

That's true. Maybe a PHR-5 JST Connector 2mm Pitch instead?

That seems to be it! Or "JST-PH"? Not sure what the difference is between PH and PHR-5. 2mm pitch seems to be it at least, and plastic tabs seem to be at the right place:

Just order some of the generic ones I find for " JST-PH" on aliexpress and pray? You are a great help, thank you!

Found these over at Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/6HDzJIR

Can't say for sure if it's a full match, but as far as generic goes - maybe this is faster than waiting for AliExpress at least.

As far as I know are the "PHR" series connectors a variant of the "PH" connectors. They also have a 2.0 mm pitch, but they differ slightly in their housing design. The primary difference in the "PHR" connectors is the presence of a latching feature on the housing. This latch helps to secure the connector halves together, providing additional stability and preventing accidental disconnections.

I ordered some of these:

With a little bit of luck it should be an easy repair. Thanks again!
