The JST GHR-08V-S is an 8-position receptacle housing from the GH series, built for 1.25mm pitch wire-to-board interconnects. It's a free-hanging (in-line) female socket housing with a latch lock that clicks into the mating header for vibration resistance. The natural PBT insulation handles -25°C to 85°C, typical for consumer and industrial harnesses inside an enclosure.
Sizing Your Harness — Position Count and Pitch
The 8 positions at 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch give you a compact single-row housing for an 8-circuit harness. Compared to the 9-position GHR-09V-S, this is one circuit shorter.
The housing mates with the matching GH-series pin header (male pins). No secondary TPA retainer on this housing — the primary latch is the only retention.
