Woodland Scenics "Just Plug" connectors I've seen are "JST 2.54 mm". Pre-wired  plugs & sockets are available from WeHonest or various eBay and Amazon shops. Note: "Male" is the kind with projecting metal prongs inside a white plastic socket that you might think is "female".

As an Alternative to the Woodland Scenic stuff, I use a lot of stuff from an Ebay site named "WE HONEST" They actually seem to live up to their name!

 It's a plug and play system for the most part. There are all sorts of stick onLEDs for interior walls, and several door, loading platform, and street light designs. there seems to be two plug systems available on some pieces.

They have a 5 into 1 connector that I use. It gives me up to 5 lights in any combination for one building, and an easy way to extend them to the power module.
 
Most impressive was the power modules accommodating up to over thirty lights per unit. it also has three different ways to get power TO the module.

 Here's a link to the power distribution board.

I've ordered from WeHonest several times, all satisfactory, but not since Covid.  The Power Distribution Boards I got have JST 2.0 mm connectors, screw terminals and a set of sockets for tiny pin plugs.  I don't know if the pin plugs conform to any formal standard, but WeHonest does sell compatible plugs assembled onto wires.

Note that when they say HO/OO, the item is likely oversize for HO.  Some of their signals look fairly prototypical, but I haven't tried them because they use separate power leads for each color and my system was designed around Oregon Rail Supply using bi-polar LEDs (2 wires only).
