The JST PHDR-20VS is a 20-position, 2-row receptacle housing from the PHD series, on a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch in both axes.
Critical: Contacts Are Not Included
Don't order half a connection — add the crimp terminals to the BOM line alongside this housing.
Mating Header and Harness Assembly
The PHDR-20VS mates with a JST PHD series pin header — look for a 20-position, 2-row, 2.00mm pitch through-hole or SMT header (e.g., B20B-PHDSS or similar). The free-hanging housing uses a positive locking ramp on the top surface to retain the mated pair; you'll hear the latch click when fully seated. For field service, the housing unlatches by pressing the ramp, and the crimped terminals can be extracted with a JST extraction tool if a wire needs replacing.
The PHD receptacle family runs from 2 to 26 positions in the same 2-row, 2.00mm pitch format. The PHDR-20VS sits at 20 positions — a common count for I/O and control harnesses. If the BOM calls for a different circuit count, the same housing style is available at 22 positions (PHDR-22VS), 24 positions (PHDR-24VS), and 26 positions (PHDR-26VS), all sharing the same natural PA66 body, crimp termination, and free-hanging mount.
