Obsolete — Sourced to Order
The JST 12HR-6S is officially listed as Obsolete. There is no official successor order code for this specific HR series 12-position IDC receptacle.
The JST 12HR-6S is a 12-circuit, single-row receptacle from the JST HR series, terminated via IDC to 26 AWG discrete wire. The natural-colored housing is a closed-end design, meaning the wire insertion stops at the back wall — no pass-through. This connector is used for internal wire-to-board or wire-to-wire signal interconnects in consumer electronics, appliances, and low-current control harnesses where a compact, low-cost IDC termination is acceptable.
Termination and Wire Handling
No stripping or crimping required, which speeds up harness assembly on a bench. The free-hanging (in-line) mount means it mates with a board-mounted pin header or another in-line housing; no panel cutout needed. The detent lock provides a positive tactile click when mated, resisting casual disconnection from vibration or cable snag.
Sourcing Reality for an Obsolete Part
Because the 12HR-6S is obsolete, standard distributor stock is depleted. The part is sourced through independent and broker channels on a per-RFQ basis. No pin-compatible drop-in replacement from JST has been formally designated for this specific variant, so a board or harness revision may be required if a substitute is needed.
