JST B8P-VH — 8-Circuit VH Series Header, Obsolete
It uses a 3.96mm pitch, through-hole solder termination, and a 1-wall shroud with a locking ramp for secure mating. The natural PA66 housing is rated UL94 V-0, and the operating range spans -25°C to 85°C. Mated stack height is 16.5mm.
Obsolete — Sourcing and Cross-Reference
The B8P-VH is listed as Obsolete. For a buyer searching this code, the primary decision is whether to source remaining stock through surplus channels or find a pin-compatible replacement.
The 3.96mm pitch is a standard power interconnect spacing — wide enough for 10A per circuit without excessive temperature rise, but it takes up more board edge than a signal-pitch header. The 1-wall shroud and locking ramp mean the header is keyed and latches to the receptacle, giving vibration resistance in industrial or appliance harnesses. The tin-lead plating is a lead-bearing finish; buyers with RoHS requirements should verify exemption coverage or switch to a lead-free VH variant.
