PA series, Board to Cable/Wire, Header, 3 Positions, 0.079\" (2.00mm) Pitch, Through Hole, Shrouded - 4 Wall, Locking Ramp, Tin Contacts, 3A, 250V, UL94 V-0","salesMarkdown":"## What this 3-position 2 mm header does that a plain pin strip can't The 4-wall shroud and locking ramp mean the mating PA receptacle clicks in and stays put under vibration — a plain unshrouded pin header won't give you that mechanical lock. The tin-plated copper alloy contacts are good for moderate mating cycles — think appliance control boards, HVAC panels, or industrial sensor interfaces. ## Three stack heights, one footprint — clearance flexibility without a PCB change The B03B-PASK supports three mated stacking heights: 9.9 mm, 14.7 mm, and 14.9 mm. That means the same board layout can accommodate different enclosure depths or cover clearances by swapping the mating receptacle housing, not the header. Compare with the 5-position B05B-PASK: same pitch, same current rating, same locking ramp, same stack heights. If your BOM needs a 5-position header, the B05B-PASK is a drop-in replacement for the footprint, just wider. ## Active production, but watch the RoHS status Critical compliance note: this part is RoHS non-compliant. If your assembly requires RoHS, you'll need to check for a lead-free variant or secure an exemption.","metaTitle":"B03B-PASK JST PA Series 2mm Header 3 Pos Locking Ramp","metaDescription":"B03B-PASK JST PA series 2.00mm pitch through-hole header, 3 positions, shrouded 4-wall, locking ramp. 3A, 250V, UL94 V-0.
