It uses a 3.96 mm pitch — wide enough to handle the 10 A per circuit rating without crowding the board layout. The right-angle through-hole termination keeps the wire exit parallel to the PCB, which suits enclosures where height above the board is limited. A locking ramp on the shroud provides positive retention against the mating receptacle housing, important in harness assemblies subject to vibration. ## What the ratings mean for fit The 3.96 mm pitch is the first thing to check against your board footprint — it's wider than the 2.54 mm common on signal headers, so the pad spacing and routing channels need to match. The 10 A per circuit is genuine power-level current, but the tin-on-tin contact plating (mating and post both tin) means the connector is built for a limited number of mating cycles — fine for a permanent or occasional-service harness, not for frequent disconnect-reconnect duty. The 250 V rating gives enough headroom for most low-voltage DC and AC power rails inside equipment. The UL94 V-0 nylon 6/6 housing meets the flame rating required for components inside a ventilated enclosure. ## Mating and sourcing This header mates with the JST VH series receptacle housing that accepts the appropriate crimp terminals — the locking ramp on the shroud engages the latch on the housing for a secure fit. The (LF)(SN) suffix in the order code indicates a lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish. The base product number is B7PS-VH; the difference between B7PS-VH and B7PS-VH(LF)(SN) is the RoHS compliance and tin plating — the (LF)(SN) variant is the current standard for new designs requiring RoHS conformance.","metaTitle":"JST B7PS-VH(LF)(SN) VH Header, 7 Pos, 3.96mm, 10A","metaDescription":"JST B7PS-VH(LF)(SN) VH series header, 7 positions, 3.96mm pitch, 10A, 250V, right-angle through-hole, locking ramp, UL94 V-0.","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":"$0.5200","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/011f464190d3957967aa5c9371f984c8.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/B7PS-VH(LF)(SN)/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the difference between B7PS-VH(LF)(SN) and B7PS-VH?","answer":"The (LF)(SN) suffix indicates a lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish with tin plating on the contacts.
