The JST XARP-08V is an 8-position 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 locks to the mating header with a latch lock — positive retention without a secondary locking mechanism.
Sourcing the Right Crimp Contacts
The housing ships without contacts — the listing note is explicit. Order the female crimp terminals separately for the wire gauge your harness calls for.
