The 3 A current rating is the thermal ceiling for the nylon 6 housing at 85°C ambient — stay below that and the temperature rise stays inside the material limit. Tin plating is fine for occasional mating; if the connector sees frequent disconnect cycles in a corrosive environment, step up to a gold-plated variant in the series. ## Through-Hole Solder Tail for Board Retention The insulation height of 0.394\" (10.00 mm) gives clearance for the mating housing latch. The part is RoHS compliant. ## How It Compares to 4- and 5-Position Siblings The 2-position BE2P-SHF-1AA(LF)(SN) shares the same 2.50 mm pitch, 3 A rating, friction lock, and unshrouded format as the 4-position BE4P-SHF-1AA(LF)(SN) and 5-position BE5P-SHF-1AA(LF)(SN). All three are active and RoHS compliant.","metaTitle":"JST BE2P-SHF-1AA(LF)(SN) NH Header 2 Pos 2.5mm Pitch","metaDescription":"JST NH series 2-position unshrouded header, 2.5mm pitch, 3A, 250V, friction lock.
