Tin-lead plating on both the mating contact and the solder post is the standard finish for this series. The tin-lead surface is adequate for the 10 A duty and the moderate mating cycle count typical of a power header — it will not match the cycle life of a gold-plated contact, but for a permanent or semi-permanent harness connection the difference is academic. The UL94 V-0 polyamide insulator means the header can be used inside equipment enclosures that require a flame rating — a standard expectation for power interconnects in commercial and industrial gear. The JST B8PS-VH is listed as obsolete. No official successor part number has been published. Buyers with this on a BOM should treat it as a last-time-buy or surplus-channel item. The solder posts measure 0.142\" (3.60 mm) long, suitable for standard through-hole PCB thicknesses.","metaTitle":"JST B8PS-VH VH Series Header, 8 Pos 3.96mm, Obsolete","metaDescription":"JST B8PS-VH VH series 8-position single-row shrouded header, 3.96mm pitch, 10A at 250V, tin-lead plating, right-angle through-hole, locking ramp.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings"],"specifications":{"Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","title":"B8PS-VH","Series":"VH","Package":"Bulk","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 1 Wall","Termination":"Solder","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)","Voltage Rating":"250V","Contact Material":"Brass","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.335\\\" (8.51mm)","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Positions":"8","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin-Lead","Contact Length - Post":"0.142\\\" (3.60mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"10A","Operating Temperature":"-25°C~85°C","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin-Lead","Contact Length - Mating":"0.303\\\" (7.70mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.1300","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/d26d5f6ef1f8887590c89297ce73edce.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/B8PS-VH/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy B8PS-VH?","answer":"Availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of quote — submit an RFQ for the quantity needed."},{"question":"Is B8PS-VH obsolete?","answer":"Yes, the JST B8PS-VH is listed as obsolete.
