Product details

Pitch, positions, and what mates with it

The 2.50mm pitch and 3-position count are the critical fit parameters. This header mates with JST XH series crimp housings (like the XHP-3) using the appropriate crimp terminals (SXH-001T-P0.6 or similar). Mated stacking height is 9.8mm, which sets the clearance needed above the PCB when the cable side is attached.

Termination and mounting for the assembly line

Through-hole mounting with press-fit and solder termination gives flexibility: press-fit can be used for a solderless assembly step, while solder adds a reliable joint.

Peer alternates for AVL flexibility

Three peer MPNs share identical electrical and mechanical specs: BH3B-XH-2(LF)(SN), B3B-XH-A, and B3B-XH-AM. All are 3-position, 2.50mm pitch, 3 A, 250 V, through-hole, shrouded headers in the XH series. The B3B-XH-AM adds a board guide feature. These alternates give you sourcing flexibility for AVL management.
