It uses a 0.059\" (1.50mm) pitch, making it a compact wire-to-board interconnect for tight harness layouts. The housing is green with a closed-end feature, which blocks wire protrusion and adds mechanical support at the end of the connector. The contact is a tin-plated female socket, rated for the standard signal-level currents typical of the ZR series. This is the female mating half for the ZR series pin headers. ## Pitch, Position Count, and Wire Gauge The 1.50mm pitch is the defining footprint constraint — it matches the ZR series pin header layout and keeps the board-side footprint small. The IDC termination is fixed for 28 AWG wire; the insulation displacement slot is sized for that gauge, so using a different wire size risks an unreliable connection. Compared to the sibling 03ZR-3H-P, which accepts 30 AWG and has a natural-colored housing, the 03ZR-8M-P is the 28 AWG variant with a green housing — the pitch, position count, and closed-end feature are identical. This receptacle mates with JST ZR series pin headers of the same 1.50mm pitch and 3-position count. The closed-end housing accepts the header shroud fully, and the tin-plated female socket provides reliable contact for signal-level circuits. The IDC termination eliminates the need for separate crimp terminals — the wire is pressed directly into the insulation displacement slot. For field replacement, the connector is free-hanging (in-line) and does not require board mounting.","metaTitle":"JST 03ZR-8M-P ZR Series Receptacle, 3-Pos, 1.50mm Pitch, IDC","metaDescription":"JST 03ZR-8M-P ZR series receptacle, 3 positions, 0.059\" (1.50mm) pitch, IDC termination for 28 AWG wire, tin-plated female socket, closed end, green housing","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"ZR","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circular Connectors","Panel-Mount & In-Line Circular"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"JST Sales America Inc.","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.059\\\" (1.50mm)","Series":"ZR","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Closed End","Wire Type":"Discrete","Wire Gauge":"28 AWG","Row Spacing":"-","Contact Type":"Female Socket","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Receptacle","Contact Finish":"Tin","Fastening Type":"-","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Cable Termination":"IDC","Base Product Number":"03ZR","Number of Positions":"3","Contact Finish Thickness":"-"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.4200","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.42000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.36600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.33480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.31520","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.30210","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.27584","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.26272","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.21674","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.19704","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/da6b36aae3004270c02401e4d75d4a0e.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/03ZR-8M-P/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch of JST 03ZR-8M-P?","answer":"The pitch is 0.059\" (1.50mm).
