FAQs of 8 PIN 2.54 MM PITCH MALE FEMALE JST CONNECTOR:
Q: How do I terminate wires for the female end of the JST 8-pin 2.54 mm connector?
A: The female end utilizes crimp-style socket contacts. Use a compatible crimp tool to attach the contacts to wires (2228 AWG), then insert the crimped contacts into the female housing until they lock into place.
Q: What applications benefit most from this 8-pin JST connector?
A: This connector is ideal for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire connections in electronic devices, industrial equipment, and any systems requiring reliable and compact multi-pin connections up to 2A per pin.
Q: When should I use the friction lock or positive latch feature?
A: The friction lock or positive latch secures the mating pair, ensuring firm engagement under vibration or mechanical stress. Use this feature whenever a secure and reliable connection is crucial to your application.
Q: Where can I mount the male header of this connector?
A: The male header is designed for through-hole PCB mounting. Solder the pins onto compatible boards with a 2.54 mm pitch, ensuring stable and durable mounting for electronic assemblies.
Q: What is the maximum operating environment for this connector?
A: The connector can operate in environments with temperatures between -25C to +85C and up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing). This wide range supports use in diverse industrial and electronic settings.
Q: How many mating cycles will the connector support reliably?
A: This connector pair is rated for approximately 50 mating cycles, making it suitable for applications where re-connection is occasional but not frequent.
Q: What advantages does RoHS compliance offer?
A: RoHS compliance ensures the connector is free from hazardous substances, making it environmentally friendly and suitable for global markets with strict safety and material regulations.
