15-Position SMT Header for Wire-to-Board
The BM15B-ZESS-TBT(LF)(SN): This is a JST ZE series 15-position single-row header, surface-mount, with a 1.50 mm pitch and a shrouded 4-wall design. It mates with the ZE series crimp receptacle housing to form a wire-to-board connection. Tin-plated mating contacts suit moderate-cycle applications where cost per connection matters more than high-cycle life.
Board Fit and Assembly Details
Surface-mount termination with pick-and-place features and solder retention — the part stays put during reflow without secondary hold-downs. The 1.50 mm pitch demands a tight board layout; the 15 positions fit in a 22.5 mm body width (15 × 1.5 mm). Mated stack height of 9.4 mm gives the board-to-wire interface a low profile, useful when the connector sits near a board edge or under a cover.
