Does JST offer a wire-to-wire (in-line) mate to the PHD series?

At this time, JST does not offer a wire-to-wire mate for the PHD series. It is deigned for wire-to-board applications only.

Difference in contact part numbers

What is the difference between SPH-002T-P0.5S and SPH-002T-P0.5L?

The difference is the insertion force. SPH-002T-P0.5S is the standard contact; SPH-002T-P0.5L is a low insertion force type contact.

These contacts do not share the same tooling.

Please contact us here if you have any questions.

Can JST through-hole headers be subjected to reflow oven conditions?

The majority of JST through-hole type header wafer materials cannot withstand the temperatures required for reflow soldering (pin-n-paste). The through-hole headers are designed for wave or dip soldering methods.

Please contact us here if more information is required.

Header part number difference

What is the difference between B( )B-PHDSS and B( )B-PHDSS-B? As well as the side-entry version, S( )B-PHDSS and S( )B-PHDSS-B?

*: Replace ( ) with the applicable number of circuits.

The difference is the wafer material.

The suffixed "-B" on both the top and side-entry headers indicates the material is 66 Nylon.

Those without the "-B" suffix are glass-filled Nylon.

For more information contact us here.

Difference in contact part numbers

What is the difference between SHF-001T-0.8BS and SHF-001T-0.8SS?

The difference is the base material. The contact suffixed with "BS" is the standard Phosphor Bronze material. The "SS" indicates Brass material.

Difference in contact part numbers

What is the difference between SHF-001T-0.8BS and SHF-001T-0.8SS?

The difference is the base material. The contact suffixed with "BS" is the standard Phosphor Bronze material. The "SS" indicates Brass material.

What does the "P" indicate in part number SFO-41T-P187N-8?

The "P" indicates the base material. With the "P" the material is Phosphor Bronze. Without the "P" the material is Brass.

3D model update

Limited 3D models are available for download through our web site for some headers for PCB layout purposes. You are required to, at a minimum, provide your name and your company name and agree to our license terms. The file types offered are Iges, Step and Acrobat 3D.

If available, the models can be found listed by series from the following link: Alphabetical Search by Series

What is the difference between SHR-( )V-S and SHR-( )V-S-B?

In the subject part numbers, replace the ( ) with the applicable number of circuits.

The difference is protrusions on the sides of the housings to make handling them easier. The SHR-( )V-S is without the protrusions and SHR-( )V-S-B is with the protrusions. Please see the image below for more details.

What is a "boss"?

Used on surface mount, through-hole headers and board-in connectors, a "boss" is a peg on the bottom of a header that helps polarize and situate the product onto the PCB.

For polarization, the boss allows the user to orient the product onto the PCB in only one direction. They are also used to help steady surface mount headers before subjecting them to IR reflow.

An extra hole is required to be drilled /punched into the PCB when incorporating items with bosses though the boss typically will not penetrate completely through the PCB like a through-hole solder tail would.
