The JST VLR-04VF is a 4-circuit receptacle from the VL series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board applications. It accepts male pin crimp terminals — the contacts are ordered separately. The 6.20 mm pitch provides generous creepage for moderate-voltage power or signal distribution in harness assemblies. A latch holder on the housing locks the mating plug in place, resisting vibration-induced separation in equipment cabinets or automotive interior environments.
The 0.244" (6.20 mm) pitch is wider than typical signal connectors — each circuit has room for a full-size crimp terminal and the insulation.
Mating and Termination
This receptacle mates with the corresponding VL series male header (e.g., VLR-04 male pin header) and accepts crimp terminals that are ordered separately — the part ships as a housing only. The crimp termination allows field-assembled or production-harness wiring without soldering. The free-hanging mount means the connector sits in-line on the wire bundle, not on a PCB; it can be panel-mounted with an optional adapter if needed.
