The JST XAP-08V-1 is an 8-circuit receptacle housing from the XA series, designed for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnects at a 2.50mm pitch. It accepts female socket crimp terminals (sold separately) and terminates via crimp, making it a standard choice for harness assemblies where the housing is free-hanging — no PCB mount.
Key Specs That Drive the Fit
The 2.50mm pitch is the same across the XA series, so the board footprint and mating plug are consistent whether you use the 8-position or a lower-count sibling. The latch lock engages with an audible click — no secondary locking mechanism required for many harness applications. Contacts are not included with this housing. Order the matching female socket crimp terminals separately.
