Anyone know what size and type of connectors these are?

I think they're called Molex connectors. I have some but they're slightly different. I looked them up on an electronics supply website and there were 300+ pages of them so I figure the chances of me picking the right ones are slim to none. I need to shorten some wires and I'm real tired of soldering and heat shrinking tiny wires.
I'm referring to the metal crimped part that slides into the plastic holder, the female end. Thanks.

Having asked this type of question a few times on this forum, I have found that Grin does a very useful public service by providing a page of information on connectors.

The connector you show looks like a JST-SM type, as here : https://ebikes.ca/learn/connectors.html#JST-SM

Thanks pickworthi. the "SM" is the clue I needed, and that Grin page was real helpful. Aside from the JST-SM connectors I did not know MT60 connectors were 3 pole. I'd seen them mentioned but never saw a pic or description saying 3 pole. I'd been using 2 pairs of XT60 for motor connections. I'm trying to fit all the connections in a very small space so that's a big help.
I think I found the JST-SM connectors and a crimping tool on amazon for $28, I'll report back with a link if it's the right one.
 
In case anyone needs them, these are indeed JST-SM connectors. I found them and a crimper for a decent price on amazon. Here's a link - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YXY415S/
