JST-XH 2.54mm Male PCB Header (Right Angle)

Available in 2, 3, 4 and 6-pin – Package of 5 Pieces

The JST-XH series male PCB connector is a widely used wire-to-board solution in electronics, robotics, and R/C applications. These right-angle (horizontal) headers are designed to mount on printed circuit boards where connections need to exit parallel to the board.

Featuring a standard 2.54mm pitch (0.1-inch spacing), these connectors are compatible with breadboards, prototyping PCBs, and production designs.

Key Features

• Standard JST-XH series compatibility
• 2.54mm pitch (0.1") pin spacing
• Right-angle / horizontal PCB mount design
• Through-hole solder connection for strong mechanical stability
• Available in 2, 3, 4, and 10-pin configurations
• Reliable locking friction fit with mating connector

Specifications

• Series: JST-XH
• Pitch: 2.54mm (0.1")
• Mounting Type: Through-hole (THT)
• Orientation: Right Angle / Horizontal
• Current Rating: up to 3A (typical)
• Voltage Rating: up to 250V (typical)

Compatible Mating Connectors

These male headers are designed to mate with standard JST-XH series female housings and crimp terminals (2.54mm pitch), commonly used for battery leads, signal wiring, and power connections.

Straight vs Right Angle

Right-angle (horizontal) connectors are ideal for applications with limited vertical clearance or where wires need to run parallel to the PCB. For vertical cable routing, a straight connector may be more suitable.

Typical Applications

• R/C batteries and balance connectors
• Robotics and Arduino projects
• 3D printers and CNC electronics
• Compact or low-profile electronic enclosures
• General PCB wire-to-board connections

Note: JST-XH connectors are not compatible with JST PH, SH, or other JST series due to differences in pitch and housing design.
