2.00 mm Pitch, 8-Position Shrouded Header — JST PH Series
Mated stack height is 8 mm, so plan for that z-height clearance in the enclosure after the receptacle is mated.
Position-Count Alternatives in the Same Footprint
The PH series offers identical 2.00 mm pitch, 8 mm stack height, and electrical ratings across position counts. The 8-position B8B-PH-K-S(LF)(SN) sits between the 7-position B7B-PH-K-S(LF)(SN) and the 9-position B9B-PH-K-S(LF)(SN) — a direct swap if the BOM needs one more or one fewer circuit, with no board layout change beyond the pin count. For higher density, the 10-position B10B-PH-K-S(LF)(SN) shares the same footprint and ratings, adding two circuits in the same row length.
Mating with JST PH Crimp Housings
This header mates with JST PH series crimp receptacle housings (e.g., PHR-8) using the appropriate crimp terminals (SPH-002T-P0.5S). The shroud is keyed so the receptacle can only be inserted one way, preventing reverse mating. Termination is through-hole press-fit with solder — the tails are tin-plated for good wetting during wave or hand soldering.
