Board Fit and Pinout
The B8B-PH-SM4-TBT(LF)(SN): The 2 A per-contact rating at 100 V suits signal and low-power distribution inside control panels, sensors, and consumer electronics. The -25°C to 85°C range covers most indoor and sheltered outdoor gear.
Mounting and Assembly
The 8.6 mm mated stack height and 6.60 mm insulation height mean the header stands off the board enough to clear components under the receptacle body.
Mechanical Protection and Mating
For higher cycle life, the gold-plated PH variants are a better fit.
Peer Comparison: 8 vs 9 Positions
If your BOM calls for 8 positions, this is the correct count; the 9-position variant adds 2 mm to the board footprint.
