Right-angle SMT header for XH wire-to-board
The 2.50mm pitch is the standard XH spacing, matching the full range of XH crimp housings and terminals.
Solder retention and board-level fit
The header includes solder retention features — small surface-mount tabs that anchor the part to the PCB pads during reflow and add shear resistance after soldering. The base product number is S6B-XH-S, which helps locate related documentation and accessories.
JST lists this part as Active with no announced end-of-life. It is RoHS non-compliant per the current listing — verify your assembly's exemption requirements.
Peer comparison: position count and mounting
The closest sibling is the S4B-XH-SM4-TB, identical in every respect except position count — 4 positions vs 6. For a through-hole alternative, the S6B-XH-A-1 offers the same 6 positions and 2.50mm pitch but with press-fit/solder termination in a right-angle through-hole package. The SMT version here saves board space by eliminating plated through-holes.
