Product Introduction
The JST B12P-VL is a 12-position, 2-row board-to-wire header from the VL series, designed for power interconnect applications where 6.20 mm pitch and 20 A per circuit are required. Typical uses include power supply distribution, industrial control panels, and appliance wiring harnesses where a reliable, field-mateable connection is needed.
Key Ratings and Their Meaning
The 20 A per contact rating and 6.20 mm pitch support the 600 V rating. Tin plating suits moderate mating cycles in clean indoor environments.
Comparison with B08P-VL
The B12P-VL shares the same 6.20 mm pitch, 20 A rating, 600 V rating, 2-row layout, and latch holder with the 8-position B08P-VL. The only decision-relevant difference is the position count: 12 positions versus 8. No other functional spec changes between the two.
