What the B2P-VH is
The Molex B2P-VH is the 2-circuit member of the VH family — a single-row, single-wall shrouded male header designed for board-to-cable interconnects where the wire side mates to the board-mount header. The 0.156 inch (3.96 mm) pitch and 2-position count are the primary BOM-check specs: confirm your board footprint and that the circuit count matches the harness pigtail before committing. The 10 A per circuit at 250 V rating makes this a power-rated member of the series, sitting above signal-only VH variants in the current spectrum — derate the per-contact current above 85 °C per your thermal model if the ambient at the connector face approaches the upper limit.
Housing, termination, and mating fit
The PA66 (nylon 6/6) housing carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating — appropriate for industrial and appliance interconnects. The locking ramp fastening keeps the mated pair seated under mechanical stress. The 0.370 inch (9.40 mm) insulation height and 16.5 mm mated stacking height matter for z-height budget in board-to-board or board-to-panel stacking. The through-hole vertical solder termination accepts a standard 3.70 mm lead — verify your PCB hole size and pad diameter match the 3.96 mm pitch footprint to close the thermal and mechanical joint.
