The tin-on-tin contact interface (mating and post) is cost-effective for applications with infrequent mating — think once at assembly and maybe a field service cycle or two. Tin-plated contacts are rated for fewer mating cycles than gold; if your design requires repeated disconnect/reconnect, consider the gold-plated variant in the ZE series. ## SMT Soldering and Board Retention This header includes solder retention features — small tabs on the body that reflow to the board pads, holding the connector in place during wave or reflow soldering. Without them, a right-angle SMT header can tilt or shift as the solder paste wets; the retention tabs keep the mating face square to the board edge. Termination is solder only — no press-fit option. The tape-and-reel packaging (cut tape also available) is set for automated pick-and-place; the reel quantity is standard for JST ZE headers. ## Active Status and Sourcing Outlook For BOM planning, the base product number is SM15B-ZE, and the full order code includes the plating and packaging suffix.","metaTitle":"SM15B-ZESS-TB(LF)(SN) JST ZE Header 15 Pos 1.5mm SMT R/A","metaDescription":"JST ZE series 15-position SMT right-angle header, 1.50mm pitch, shrouded 4-wall, locking ramp, 2A/100V, tin-plated, UL94 V-0, RoHS, active production.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"ZE","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":"ZE","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Solder Retention","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"-","Contact Type":"Outer Shroud Contact","Contact Shape":"Rectangular","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Locking Ramp","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.059\\\" (1.50mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"100V","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.228\\\" (5.80mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"SM15B-ZE","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Positions":"15","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"-","Current Rating (Amps)":"2A","Operating Temperature":"-25°C~85°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"-","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":"$1.3300","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.33000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.12200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.00780","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.82458","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.73297","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2000,"price":"$0.68716","currency":"USD"},{"qty":3000,"price":"$0.66425","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.64135","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.60928","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/f14c5b3e962d599e7da113c02f467e6a.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Can I use SM15B-ZESS-TB as a substitute for SM15B-ZESS-TB(LF)(SN)?","answer":"The SM15B-ZESS-TB is the same base part without the (LF)(SN) suffix, which indicates lead-free plating and RoHS compliance.
