What does the "-H" indicate in the SH series contact?

Contact with the "-H" suffix...

Contact without the "-H" suffix...

Part number SSH-003T-P0.2-H is a newer version and is called a "high-pressure contact type" compared to the older SSH-003T-P0.2. The contact point of the contact was modified for a more assured connection and to help prevent the contact from warping when mating with the header posts.

Both contacts share the same application crimp tooling for terminating to the applicable wire. For more information, please visit www.jst.com.

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:

USB Connector Part Number Changes

The following will explain the differences between the old and new, RoHS compliant USB Type A and Type B connectors:

Previous suffix of "-1":
Housing resin material = PBT
Shell = Nickel-undercoated, tin / copper alloy plating
Contact solder tail = 100% tin-plating (reflow treated)

Now changed to new suffix of "-4D":
Housing resin material = PBT
Shell = Nickel-undercoated, 100% pure tin-plating
Contact solder tail = 100% tin-plating (reflow treated)

************************************************

Previous suffix of "-2":
Housing resin material = PPS
Shell = Nickel-undercoated, tin / copper alloy plating
Contact solder tail = 100% tin-plating (reflow treated)

Now changed to new suffix of "-4S":
Housing resin material = PPS
Shell = Nickel-undercoated, 100% pure tin-plating
Contact solder tail = 100% tin-plating (reflow treated)

************************************************

Previous parts with a suffix of "-1NS" or without any designator have changed to "-4D" or "-4S" depending on the housing resin material.

Does JST have a CAGE Code?

Our current CAGE code is 67D17.

Our previous code (0S0L1) is obsolete and may still reference our old address location in Mount Prospect, IL.

Does JST offer a wire-mounted mate to the SH series?

At this time, the SH series is only offered in its current configuration of wire-to-board. A wire-to-wire application option is not available.

Does JST lease application tooling?

Much of our tooling is available for lease. For details, please call our Service Engineering department at 800-947-1110.

Does JST offer gold plating?

Certain connectors are offered with gold plating depending on the series and / or the JST part number. Most are custom per customer / request. Contact us here for details of any JST part number.
