3-pin JST-XH socket - 2.54 mm pitch, straight, 6 V / 3 A

Product Overview

• 3-pin connector, 2.54 mm pitch
• JST-XH standard with female housing
• Straight design for PCB mounting
• Rated voltage: 6 V
• Current-carrying capacity: 3 A per contact
• Gold-plated contacts for reliable connections

Product Description

This 3-pin connector socket follows the JST-XH standard and is soldered onto printed circuit boards. The 2.54 mm pitch corresponds to the common pin spacing used on microcontroller boards and sensor elements, ensuring compatibility with common development platforms.

The straight design is suitable for space-saving PCB layouts, particularly when the plug and socket are intended to be positioned on the same plane. The gold-plated contacts provide reliable connections by minimizing corrosion and ensuring stable connections even under vibration.

Typical applications include powering sensor modules, connecting battery packs to control boards, or transmitting signals between separate components in prototypes and test setups. Particularly in portable devices or robotics projects, this connector enables quick mechanical disconnection without tools.

With a maximum permissible operating voltage of 6 V, it is not suitable for use with high-voltage systems or standard household electrical circuits. The load per contact is 3 A; at higher currents, the number of pins used must be increased accordingly.

Safety Notice

This connector is intended exclusively for prototypes and testing and development purposes. It is not suitable for installation in household electrical circuits. Work on or in the immediate vicinity of electrical installations must be performed by a qualified electrician; consult a professional before commissioning if in doubt.
