The JST BHMR-03V is the 3-position receptacle housing from the BHM series, a 4.00 mm pitch wire-to-board connector family. It is a free-hanging (in-line) housing that accepts male pin contacts via crimp termination. The natural nylon housing uses a latch holder for positive retention when mated with the corresponding header. This is a housing-only part — contacts are ordered separately. The 4.00 mm pitch gives enough spacing for moderate current handling in a compact single-row layout. The latch holder fastening type means the housing locks audibly onto the mating header — the connection stays mated under vibration without requiring a secondary locking clip.
Sourcing and Lifecycle
Because the housing ships without contacts, the BOM must include the matching crimp terminals. The BHMR-03V accepts male pin contacts — confirm the specific terminal part number from the BHM series documentation before ordering.
