Does JST offer loose piece versions of contacts on the carrier strip?

JST does not typically offer our strip terminals and chain terminals in loose piece (bulk) packaging. The reeled terminals are designed for large volume semi-automatic and fully-automatic wire termination equipment.

Hand tools are offered for loose contacts but most require the user to cut the terminal or contact off of the carrier strip before placing it into the hand tool for crimping.

Some of the JST authorized distributors do have the capabilities of removing the contacts from the carrier strip for those who wish to purchase loose contacts. Our network of authorized distributors can be found on our web site at the following URL:
