The JST XHP-13 is a 13-circuit receptacle housing from the XH series, designed to accept female crimp socket contacts and mate with the matching XH series pin header. The natural color is the standard unkeyed version — no color coding for position orientation. This housing is meant for free-hanging (in-line) harness applications, not board mounting. The housing itself provides no sealing — it relies on the mated header and any enclosure for environmental protection.
Sizing the Harness — Contacts and Wire
The single-row, 13-position layout is straightforward to wire: position 1 is typically marked on the housing, and the 2.50mm pitch gives enough finger room for hand crimping or a semi-automatic press. No secondary lock or TPA is standard on this housing — terminal retention relies on the latch in the crimp contact seating fully into the cavity.
