The 6.20mm pitch gives enough spacing for 16-22 AWG power or signal circuits without crowding the crimp terminals. The white PA66 nylon housing carries a -25°C to 90°C operating range, which covers most indoor equipment and non-engine-bay automotive environments.
Contacts Not Included — What That Means for Your Build
This housing ships without crimp terminals — the note on the listing is explicit. You order the female socket contacts separately, typically the JST VL series crimp terminal (order code VL-xx or equivalent). The housing accepts the terminal after it is crimped onto the wire; the terminal locks into the cavity with a positive retention tang. For a production harness, factor the terminal order into the BOM line alongside the housing. The 1-row, 4-position layout is straightforward to load by hand or with a semi-automatic crimp press.
The VLP-04VN-1 mates with the JST VL series receptacle housing (order code VLR-04V or similar). Free-hanging (in-line) mounting means no PCB footprint is needed — the connector sits in the harness run between devices.
