The JST PADP-16V-1-S is a 16-circuit receptacle housing from the PAD series, built for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-board or wire-to-wire harness applications. It uses a 2.00 mm pitch across two rows, with a latch lock that keeps the mated pair together under vibration — a solid choice for a harness that gets handled or routed in a moving assembly.
This housing ships empty — contacts are not included. You order the matching crimp terminals separately and terminate them onto the wire before inserting into the housing. The female socket contacts are crimp-terminated, so the harness builder needs the correct JST crimp tool and the terminal part number for the wire gauge being used.
The PAD series offers the same 2.00 mm pitch and dual-row layout across multiple position counts. The PADP-16V-1-S sits between the 14-position PADP-14V-1-S and the 20-position PADP-20V-1-S — the only difference is the number of circuits. Pick the position count that matches your circuit count; the footprint on the mating header changes with the position count, so confirm the header part number against the BOM.
