The 50 V voltage rating matches the ZH series wire-to-board receptacle; it's adequate for low-voltage logic, sensor signals, and control lines in industrial or consumer equipment. ## Detent Lock and Shroud — Vibration Resistance The detent lock gives a positive click when the ZH receptacle is fully seated — you feel it through the harness. Mated stack height is 5.6 mm, which means the receptacle sits that far above the board surface — check your enclosure z-height budget before committing to the footprint. ## Peer Comparison — Position Count Options The B9B-ZR is the 9-position sibling in the same ZH series, same 1.50 mm pitch, same 5.6 mm stack height, same 1 A rating. The only difference is one extra circuit — if your BOM calls for 8 positions, this is the one; if you need 9, move to the B9B-ZR. The B8B-ZR-SM4-TF is a surface-mount variant of the same 8-position header, with solder retention tabs and a 6.4 mm stack height. If your assembly line is reflow-only, that's the pick; if you're hand-soldering or wave-soldering, the through-hole B8B-ZR(LF)(SN) is the simpler choice.","metaTitle":"B8B-ZR(LF)(SN) JST ZH Header 8 Pos 1.5mm THT","metaDescription":"JST ZH series 8-position through-hole header, 1.50mm pitch, shrouded 4-wall, detent lock, tin-plated contacts, 1 A, 50 V, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"ZH","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"JST Sales America Inc.","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"ZH","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"-","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Circular","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Detent Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.059\\\" (1.50mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"50V","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.177\\\" (4.50mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"B8B-ZR","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6, Glass Filled","Number of Positions":"8","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.106\\\" (2.69mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"1A","Operating Temperature":"-25°C~85°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"5.6mm","Overall Contact Length":"0.256\\\" (6.50mm)","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.094\\\" (2.40mm)","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":"$0.3800","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.38000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.32200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.25040","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.21460","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.17883","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.15328","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.14306","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/2fb95b8ede28dbfc6d8876369fc84cb5.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the recommended mating connector for B8B-ZR(LF)(SN)?","answer":"It mates with the JST ZH series crimp receptacle housing (e.g., ZHR-8) loaded with SZH-002T-P0.5 terminals.
