Additional Details

The BH08B-XASK-BN(LF)(SN) connector housing is typically made of a durable plastic material. The (LF) designation indicates that the connector is lead-free, while the (SN) likely refers to a tin plating on the contacts. Mating connectors and crimp terminals are required for a complete connection, and JST offers a variety of compatible options. The XH series has a 2.5mm pitch, which is the distance between the center of one contact to the center of the next. The current and voltage ratings are dependent on the crimp terminals and wire gauge used. Refer to the JST XH series datasheet for complete specifications, including dimensions, materials, and electrical characteristics. Proper crimping tools are essential for achieving a reliable and gas-tight connection. The part is designed for mass production assembly lines but also is suitable for small production too.
