Product details

2.50mm pitch, 8-position shrouded header with detent lock

Mates with XH crimp housings — field-repairable

Termination is press-fit, solder — the pins are pressed into the board and then wave-soldered. The 0.134" (3.40mm) post length is standard for 1.6mm PCBs with a through-hole solder joint. Board guide on the header helps alignment during manual or automated assembly, reducing bent-pin risk.

Frequently asked questions

Is B8B-XH-AM RoHS compliant?

No, B8B-XH-AM is marked RoHS non-compliant. If you need RoHS compliance, consider the functionally identical peer B8B-XH-AM(LF)(SN) or B8B-XH-A(LF)(SN), which carry a lead-free finish.

What is the pitch of B8B-XH-AM?

The mating pitch is 0.098" (2.50mm). This is the standard XH series pitch, matching all XH crimp housings and receptacles.

Does B8B-XH-AM have a locking mechanism?

Yes, it has a detent lock that provides a positive latch when mated with the XH receptacle housing. This lock resists vibration-induced disconnection in field equipment.

Can B8B-XH-AM be used with crimp terminals?

Yes, this header mates with JST XH series crimp receptacle housings that accept the appropriate crimp terminals (e.g., SXH-001T-P0.6). The detent lock aligns with the housing latch.
