Among our electric components, we can put forward a wide variety of innovative catalog products and crimping tools: FFC/FPC connectors (insertion strength zero, no ZIF), to crimp/crossing, SMT/CMS JST Connector” is either shorthand for a connector manufacturer called Japan Solderless Terminal, or a vernacular term for a range of different type of wire to board connectors, which either are, or resemble designs from Japan Solderless Terminal. surface mounting), insulation displacement (IDC), board to board, board to wire, wire to wire, LED, waterproof, pitch from 0.1 to 13mm, hand tools, semi-automatic presses and applicators for all our

The WC-240 is nice to use, but there’s not a lot to set it apart from generic tools for occasional use. I personally crimp a large amount of PH, hence the investment in the official tool. We recommend you own a set of crimping pliers as well, such as these nice ones from Engineer - they're easier to use than trying to crimp with pliers.For more obscure types, no hand tool is offered, however JST do sell a hand frame (YRS-XXX) for mounting dies for their MKS-L applicator (used in the AP-K2N crimping machine), a very expensive solution, and the only option for production/mission critical applications.

This allows us to be closer from our French customers and main European decision-makers. JST Corporate Profile and History". JST. Archived from the original on 27 November 2016 . Retrieved 13 June 2017.A teeny weeny surface mount only connector family from JST. Commonly found inside laptops for connecting various items to the motherboard. Housings are available with “wings” to aid disconnection. Housings are “SH” and headers are “SR”. Example part numbers I don’t use these very much but one advantage of them is height. The mated assembly is considerably slimmer than any other type of connector I use. It’s a shame the pitch isn’t 2.54mm – I would use them a lot more otherwise. That said, you can usually jam 2 or 3 (maybe even 4) position headers onto strip board if needed. Example part numbers JST France, electronic components manufacturer, was established in Vitry-le-François in 1989. Our plant is composed of 3 machine shops (molding, assembly and stamping) and an industrialization EH is a 2.5mm pitch connector deployed in low cost products where a current carrying connector is needed, but PCB real-estate is highly constrained. They are significantly slimmer than XH connectors. Example part numbers Note: Some 2.50 mm parts are incorrectly sold on the internet as 2.54mm (0.100in), and the 1.25mm parts as 1.27mm (0.050in).

See the top left female connector in this photo from Common JST Connector Types - PH (2.0mm pitch): The fully shrouded header has walls on all four sides to prevent improper connection to the mating housing and to prevent the intrusion of flux and other contaminants. To minimize confusion, it is best to describe a connector using: the manufacturer's name, exact connector series, and optionally the pitch, such as "JST-XH" or "JST-XH-2.50mm" or "2.50mm JST XH-series" or other variations. A female JST PH has one slot (or rather a cut-out) going down in the middle of the female. Which corresponds to the bar going down the middle of the male (as can be seen on your photo). Either side of the slot/cut-out are two small holes at the bottom.The female PH has a wide cut out and two holes at the bottom (2 mm pin spacing), whereas the XH has two slots from the top towards the bottom (2.5 mm pin spacing). A majority of JST through-hole headers can't withstand the temperatures required for reflow soldering, because the plastic has a lower melting point since they were designed for wave soldering methods. Some JST surface-mount headers are designed to handle higher temperatures of reflow soldering. [25] Connector confusion on the internet [ edit ] Your male connector has a bar down the center, which corresponds to the long slot in the middle on the female connector. JST manufactures a large number of series (families) of connectors. [2] The PCB (wire-to-board) connectors are available in top (vertical) or side (horizontal) entry, and through-hole or surface-mount.

The term "JST" is sometimes incorrectly used as a vernacular term meaning any small white electrical connector mounted on PCBs. There's a good reference at mattmillan.com which helps to identify different types of JST connectors. Choosing the Right JST Connector". DronesEtc. Archived from the original on 4 March 2016 .

VH is a larger type of JST connector featuring positive latching and is generally used in high voltage and/or high current connections. Power supply connections in Japanese brand appliances is the most likely place to find them. This 2.0mm pitch connector is very commonly seen in low cost consumer electronics as well as a plenitude of pre-fabricated hobbyist PCBs and parts. They’re dirt cheap, reasonably compact but not particularly robust. Very similar to the above series, however in a dual row configuration. Commonly used in LCD / LVDS applications. GH (1.25mm pitch)
