Overview
The B6B-XH-AM is a 6-position, 2.50mm pitch vertical shrouded header from JST's XH series. This wire-to-board connector features a mounting boss (board guide) for precise alignment and a detent lock mechanism to ensure secure mating in high-vibration environments.
Why Choose This Part
The inclusion of a mounting boss prevents incorrect orientation and provides mechanical stability during the soldering process. With a 3A current rating and a shrouded 4-wall design, it offers a compact yet robust solution that prevents accidental mismating.
Applications
Internal Peripheral Connections
Connecting cooling fans, speakers, or secondary PCBs to a main control board in consumer and industrial electronics.
LiPo Battery Balancing
Commonly used as a balance lead connector for 5S lithium-polymer battery packs in robotics and hobbyist applications.
Industrial Control Panels
Providing reliable signal and low-power distribution between modular components inside a cabinet.
