JST SM Series 3-Position Plug Housing — SMP-03V-NC
The natural-colour nylon 6 body carries a single row of female socket cavities on 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch, with a panel-mount snap-in feature and a locking ramp for positive retention against vibration or cable pull. The locking ramp fastening type provides an audible click on mating, confirming full engagement — useful in harness assemblies where visual inspection of the mate point is limited.
The SMP-03V-NC mates with the corresponding SM series pin header (male pin, same 2.50mm pitch and 3-position count). The female socket cavities accept JST's SM series crimp terminals — typically the SSH-003T-P0.2 or equivalent for 20-26 AWG wire, though the exact terminal part number should be confirmed against the wire gauge and current requirement. The crimp termination style means the housing is field-serviceable: individual contacts can be removed with a proper extraction tool if a wire needs replacement.
Compliance and Sourcing
No official second-source cross-reference is documented, but the SM series is widely used and the housing footprint is standard across JST's own SM family.
