The 4-wall shrouding also acts as a polarization key: the receptacle can only be inserted in one orientation, preventing mis-mating that could damage pins or short circuits. Note that this part is RoHS non-compliant per the listed status. If your application requires RoHS compliance, the alternative B12B-PNDZS-1(T)(LF)(SN) is the lead-free version with the same mechanical footprint and ratings. ## Comparing the 12-position to its 10- and 14-position siblings Within the PND series, the B12B-PNDZS-1 sits between the 10-position B10B-PNDZS-1 and the 14-position B14B-PNDZS-1.","metaTitle":"JST B12B-PNDZS-1 Header – 12 Pos, 2mm Pitch, Shrouded","metaDescription":"JST PND series 12-position dual-row header, 2.00mm pitch, shrouded 4-wall, locking ramp, 3A/250V, UL94 V-0.
