Tin-plated contacts, 20 A per circuit
The B08P-VL is the 8-circuit member of JST's VL series board-to-wire header line, with tin-plated mating and post contacts rated for 20 A at 600 V. The 6.20 mm pitch and 8.28 mm row spacing leave room for the 20 A current without crowding the board — the contact system carries the full rating through the UL94 V-0 PA66 housing.
Position count across the VL series
Within the VL series the B08P-VL's 8 positions sit between the 4 of the B04P-VL and the 12 of the B12P-VL — the 6.20 mm pitch, 29.2 mm mated stack height, and tin contact finish are shared across the series, so match the position count to circuit count.
