The SM06B-XSRS-ETB is a 6-position, single-row header from JST's XSR series, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. Its 0.60 mm pitch and right-angle SMT orientation make it a fit for compact, low-profile PCB assemblies where the cable exits parallel to the board. The friction lock holds the mating receptacle in place without a secondary latch — adequate for moderate vibration but not for high-shock environments. The shrouded 4-wall design protects the contacts during handling and mis-mating. Rated at 0.2 A per contact and 30 V, this is a signal-level interconnect. The tin-on-tin contact finish is cost-effective for limited mating cycles — expect a few dozen mates before wear becomes a concern.
Board-fit details for the layout engineer
The 0.60 mm pitch and right-angle SMT termination place the solder joints on one side of the board, leaving the opposite side clear for other components. Solder retention features help hold the header in place during reflow, but the part lacks board locks — the solder joints alone carry the mechanical load. For higher strain, consider a secondary adhesive or mechanical support. The insulation height of 1.45 mm and the right-angle body keep the mated connector stack low above the board surface.
