Product details

Mates with JST XH series receptacle housings (e.g., XHP-16) that accept crimp terminals such as SXH-001T-P0.6 for 22-28 AWG wire. Termination is press-fit and solder — the square pins insert into plated through-holes, then are soldered for a permanent connection.

Detent Lock and Environmental Ratings

A detent lock provides a positive tactile latch that resists vibration-induced disconnection in moderate-shock environments.

Peer Variants for Circuit Count Flexibility

For a 15-position version, the B15B-XH-A and B15B-XH-A(LF)(SN) share identical pitch, current, voltage, and mounting — only the position count differs. The B16B-XH-A (without the (LF)(SN) suffix) is a functional equivalent with the same tin-plated contacts and natural color, useful as a second-source option.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pinout of B16B-XH-A(LF)(SN)?

The header has 16 positions in a single row, all loaded with male square pins. Pin 1 is typically marked by a chamfer or a triangle on the housing body. The mating receptacle (XHP-16) has a corresponding keying feature to prevent reverse insertion.

Is B16B-XH-A(LF)(SN) RoHS compliant?

Yes, the (LF)(SN) suffix indicates lead-free and RoHS-compliant construction, with tin-plated contacts and a PA66 housing free of restricted substances.

What is the equivalent of B16B-XH-A(LF)(SN)?

The B16B-XH-A (without the (LF)(SN) suffix) is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specs. For a 15-position variant, use B15B-XH-A or B15B-XH-A(LF)(SN).
