Comparing 15 vs 14 Positions in the Same Footprint
The S15B-XH-A-1(LF)(SN) carries 15 positions, one more than the sibling S14B-XH-A (14 positions) and S14B-XH-A(LF)(SN) (14 positions). For a BOM that needs 15 discrete I/O lines on a single connector, this is the maximum position count in the XH single-row right-angle family. Dropping to 14 positions saves board space but loses one circuit — the choice is purely positional density.
Mates with standard JST XH crimp housings (e.g., XHP series) using tin-plated male pins. The detent lock engages with the housing latch for a positive audible click.
