BM**B-XASS-TF (LF)(SN) with Kapton tape

 Replace ** with the applicable number of positions / circuits.

JST does not offer the SMT top-entry XA headers with Kapton tape for straight pick-and-place equipment vacuum nozzles. JST suggests the PCB assembler to use a vacuum nozzle with a tip bent at 90° to pick the part out of the tape cavity by one of the side walls of this header.

Alternatively, if possible, mechanical pincers may also be used to extract the header from the tape cavity for placement onto the surface mount pads of the PCB.

What is the difference in the XA series header part numbers with and without the “N”?

The parts without the “N” incorporated in the part number may emit an unpleasant odor. In response to customer requests, the parts with the “N” use a raw material resin grade for the wafer material that incorporates countermeasures against the odor.

Without “N” part numbers in which an unpleasant odor may be present:

B( )B-XASK-1 (LF)(SN)

B( )B-XASK-1-A (LF)(SN)

With “N” part numbers that incorporate countermeasure against an odor:

B( )B-XASK-1N (LF)(SN)

B( )B-XASK-1N-A (LF)(SN)

Replace ( ) with the applicable number of circuits for the series.

(LF)(SN) is the RoHS compliant identifier.

Without “A” is without a locating / polarizing boss.

With “A” is with a locating / polarizing boss.

What is the storage temperature for the XA series headers?

RE: BM*B-XASS-TF(LF)(SN)

The recommended storage temperature range is +5C to +35C. The recommended maximum storage humidity is 60%.
