It uses a 0.156\" (3.96 mm) pitch, which is the standard spacing for this series and sets the PCB footprint layout. The header is through-hole mounted with a right-angle orientation, making it a natural fit for wire-to-board connections at the edge of a board where the cable exits parallel to the PCB surface. Rated at 10 A per circuit and 250 V, this header carries enough current for power distribution within an enclosure — think a power supply feeding a load board, or a control panel wiring harness. The tin-plated contacts on both the mating and post sides are standard for this class; tin is a solid, cost-effective choice for applications where the connector isn't mated and unmated repeatedly. The locking ramp on the housing provides a positive latch against the mating receptacle, which keeps the connection from walking loose under vibration or cable tug. The housing is molded from UL94 V-0 rated nylon 6/6, natural color, with a single-wall shroud that guides the mating plug into alignment. Operating temperature range is -25°C to 85°C, covering most indoor industrial and consumer equipment environments. ## Mating and Termination This header mates with the matching JST VH series receptacle housing, which accepts crimp terminals for wire sizes typical of the 10 A rating. The locking ramp on the header engages with the latch on the receptacle housing for a secure, audible lock. Termination is solder — the through-hole posts are 0.142\" (3.60 mm) long, suitable for standard PCB thicknesses.","metaTitle":"JST B7PS-VH VH Series Header, 7 Pos, 3.96mm Pitch, 10A","metaDescription":"JST B7PS-VH VH series header, 7 positions, 3.96mm pitch, 10A rated, right-angle through-hole, tin-plated contacts, locking ramp.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"JST Sales America Inc.","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"VH","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 1 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"-","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Locking Ramp","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.156\\\" (3.96mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"250V","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.335\\\" (8.51mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"B7PS-VH","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Positions":"7","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.142\\\" (3.60mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"10A","Operating Temperature":"-25°C ~ 85°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.303\\\" (7.70mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"-","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"-"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.5500","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/011f464190d3957967aa5c9371f984c8.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/B7PS-VH/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the exact pitch of B7PS-VH?","answer":"The exact mating pitch of the JST B7PS-VH is 0.156\" (3.96 mm).
