This header mates with JST XH series crimp housings (like the XHP-3) using the appropriate crimp terminals (SXH-001T-P0.6 or similar). Mated stacking height is 9.8mm, which sets the clearance needed above the PCB when the cable side is attached. ## Termination and mounting for the assembly line Through-hole mounting with press-fit and solder termination gives flexibility: press-fit can be used for a solderless assembly step, while solder adds a reliable joint. ## Peer alternates for AVL flexibility Three peer MPNs share identical electrical and mechanical specs: BH3B-XH-2(LF)(SN), B3B-XH-A, and B3B-XH-AM. All are 3-position, 2.50mm pitch, 3 A, 250 V, through-hole, shrouded headers in the XH series. The B3B-XH-AM adds a board guide feature. These alternates give you sourcing flexibility for AVL management.","metaTitle":"JST BH3B-XH-2 Header 3 Pos 2.5mm Pitch Active","metaDescription":"JST XH series shrouded header, 3 circuits, 2.50mm pitch, 3A, 250V, through-hole, press-fit/solder, UL94 V-0.
