* Every single JST wire-to-board connector series, they are super common and all the asia factories make compatible parts. SH,GH,PH,XH,etc. Basically all the ones listed on LCSC's 'connector series' in the parametric search.
* Molex Picoblade wire-to-board connector series, for the same reason (1.25mm pitch).
* Board to board connectors by Amphenol, Molex, GCT, HiRose, JST.
I've asked for those a few times, but finally had to make my own for the families that I use.

making a jst connector is a matter of few min in Diptrace (3 or 4 min per connector). I really don't think it's a good idea the Diptrace team spend time on making libs instead of enhancing Diptrace software features.

The amount of time making a connector with a decent 3D representation is more than three or four minutes, at least for me.

However, I would rather they fix the 3D representation hang that has been there for years, that is certainly true! But it's been mentioned dozens of times here over the years, and it's still in the latest version. :(

Making libraries and development are different skill levels. Developers are busy with their task and of course do not touch libraries.

When the part and/or pattern is not in a lib then touching libs is a necessity.

I don't actually touch those libraries, I put all my newly created parts in user libraries. That way when I upgrade versions, I don't lose all those parts.
