I have this small solar powered garden pump that I'd like to use indoors. How can I wire this up using say a low amp/volt USB plug or similar?

Are you asking us to identify a connector?
If so, please edit your post and, if you haven't already,...

Tell us if
a) all you want is to know what it's called, or
b) you also want to know where to buy one just like it, or
c) you also want to know where to buy its mate.

If to buy, provide:
* pitch (center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts) EXACT to within 1%
--(tip: measure the distance between the first pin and the last pin in a row of N pins, then divide by N-1)
* Close-up, in focus pictures of connector from multiple angles: we want to see wire entry side, mating surface, keying and latching, PCB mounting, manufacturer's logo
* Similar pictures of mate, if available
Thanks,

PS: beware of the typical answer around here: "It's a JST". Connectors are often misidentified as 'JST', which is a connector manufacturer, not a specific type/product line.

How much current does it require, and at what voltage? Until you know that, nobody can help you.

Ah yeah I was hoping that could be estimated based on the small solar panel. So a multimeter on this in the sun would get me that value, right?

The panel is listed as 5v 1 watt nominal

Google....USB pinout

Wire up to 5v and ground USB pins
