What led to the burnt pin on that connector?
It's a normal JST connector intended for power usage.
You will find it's a separate pin and housing configuration
It looks like a JST VHR combined with a JST SVH-21T or something like that.
hi taste_tester , quite simply i followed a guide about 10 years ago where to get 5 volts from for a Sega Saturn modchip. I recently got a blue transparent shell and realized how messy and unprofessional it is. So i am looking to replace all of the connectors in my Saturns (about 10)
i had a good look around Digikey/Element14.....etc with your suggestions and it is a step closer to what i need , but not exactly. I have desoldered the connector and taken 2 more photos (links below). Btw there is a replacement PSU for Saturns that are available to buy , my point is they use the same connector so they must be a off the shelf part.

Nope. VH is a wire-to-board, and JST doesn’t make a board-to-board in 3.96mm pitch.

Molex KK 396, bottom-entry header. Probably 0009484059 (tin) or 0009483054 (gold) or a clone thereof.
hi tooki , i just read your reply and wow. I punched it into digikey and it looks awesome , looks like you nailed it. I have purchased 5 and I'm eager to get them. I'll keep everyone posted on my results.......
hi guys I'm back , yesterday I received a parcel from digikey and eagerly opened it up. I lined up the Molex connectors with the original Saturn one and its pretty much spot on. So I soldered it in which was easy and then married the PSU with the MB.
It went through really nicely , i'm pretty stoked with the outcome. I would like to say thank you to taste_tester for getting the ball rolling and the importance of my issue , also tooki who nailed the perfect part which was not easy
thanks guys , what was quite a problem is now solved......
Glad it worked out for you! It’s nice you can keep that piece of somewhat rare-ish hardware running.
thanks tooki you've been awesome , much appreciated help from you.
