JST ZR 6-Position IDC Receptacle — 06ZR-8M-P
The JST 06ZR-8M-P is a 6-position, single-row receptacle in the ZR series, terminated via IDC to 28 AWG discrete wire. Tin-plated female sockets handle the signal-level current typical of JST's ZR line; the closed-end green housing blocks wire insertion from the wrong side, a useful safeguard on a production harness board.
Position Count and Wire Gauge — What Fits
With 6 positions and a single row, this receptacle matches a 6-circuit ZR header. The IDC termination is locked to 28 AWG — the sibling 06ZR-3H-P runs 30 AWG, so swapping wire gauges means changing the connector, not just the wire. If the harness needs 7 conductors, the 07ZR-8M-P carries the same pitch and termination style; for 5 circuits, the 05ZR-8M-P is the drop-in. The green body of the 06ZR-8M-P distinguishes it from the natural-color 06ZR-3H-P, which helps when multiple ZR connectors share a harness and visual ID matters.
It is ROHS3 compliant, which clears the regulatory gate for most commercial and industrial builds.
