Free-Hanging Receptacle for YL Series Power Harnesses
The JST YLR-08V is the 8-circuit, 2-row receptacle housing from the YL series, designed for in-line crimp termination to a cable harness. It carries a 0.177" (4.50 mm) pitch — wider than typical signal connectors, sized for power distribution or larger-gauge wire where creepage and wire-bundle clearance matter.
This is a housing-only part. Without the terminals, the housing cannot terminate a wire, so the BOM needs both line items.
Mating Half and Wiring
The YLR-08V mates with the corresponding YL series pin header (typically a through-hole or crimp-style header with male pins arranged in a 2-row, 8-position layout at 4.50 mm pitch). The free-hanging (in-line) mount means the receptacle sits in the cable harness, not on a PCB — the crimp terminals are inserted from the rear and the latch holds the wire in place.
