Right-Angle Shrouded Header for Tight Board-to-Cable Runs
The S06B-ZESK-2D(T)(LF)(SN): This JST ZE series header is a 6-position, single-row, right-angle through-hole connector with a 1.50 mm pitch. The shrouded 4-wall design guides the mating cable plug into alignment, protecting the contacts during blind mating in confined enclosures. The tin finish is suited for moderate cycle counts (50-100 mates) in controlled environments; for higher reconnect duty, consider the gold-plated variant in this series. The board guide feature helps locate the header during soldering, reducing skew.
Pitch and Current: The Board Layout Constraints
The 2 A rating is conservative for signal-level loads; derate if ambient temperature exceeds 85°C. The kinked pin solder termination provides mechanical retention during wave soldering. The post length of 0.134" (3.40 mm) is enough for standard 1.6 mm PCBs with a through-hole solder joint.
The ZE series offers 2-position (S02B-ZESK-2D) and 4-position (S04B-ZESK-2D) siblings sharing the same 1.50 mm pitch, 2 A rating, right-angle orientation, and tin plating. All are active. The 6-position version here is the highest circuit count in this subgroup — useful when you need more I/O without changing the board footprint pitch.
