The JST 05KR-D6S-P is a 5-position IDC socket in the KRD series, terminated directly to discrete 26 AWG wire with no crimp tool required. The socket body is natural (uncolored) nylon, and the tin-plated female contacts are rated for low-cycle, cost-sensitive builds where frequent disconnect isn't expected.
Wire Gauge and Termination — What to Know
This connector is built for 26 AWG discrete wire only — the IDC slot dimensions are set for that gauge. No crimp die needed, which saves tooling cost on medium-to-high volume harness runs. The right-angle free-hanging orientation lets the cable exit perpendicular to the connector body, useful when the wiring path needs to turn a corner inside the enclosure.
It is RoHS3 compliant. No direct cross-reference or second-source is recorded, so the JST KRD series header is the confirmed mating half.
