It uses a press-fit through-hole mount — the pins push into plated holes without solder, which suits high-volume board assembly where rework needs to stay clean. This connector is typically used in wire-to-board harnesses for consumer electronics, office machines, or industrial control panels where a compact, low-cost IDC termination is acceptable. The wire gauge range of 24-28 AWG stranded covers common signal-level wiring; anything thicker won't fit the IDC slot, and anything finer may not get a reliable gas-tight joint. The press-fit mounting eliminates solder wicking and speeds up the assembly line, but the board hole diameter must match the press-fit pin spec (check the product drawing). The tin-lead plating is fine for occasional mating in a controlled environment; if the connector sees frequent disconnect cycles or lives in a corrosive atmosphere, a gold-plated sibling would be a better choice. ## Lifecycle Status — Obsolete, Sourced to Order The JST 07DB-8M is officially marked Obsolete. No direct replacement or cross-reference from JST or other brands is available. If you're designing a new board, look at JST's current DB series offerings (same pitch and termination style) for a pin-compatible alternative, but verify the footprint and keying match your layout.","metaTitle":"JST 07DB-8M DB Series IDC Connector, 7 Position","metaDescription":"JST 07DB-8M DB series IDC connector, 7 positions, 0.098\" pitch, 24-28 AWG, press-fit.
