Key Features
- 8-circuit single-row layout on a 2 mm pitch for high-density wiring in compact PCB designs
- 3 A per-contact current rating supports both signal and low-voltage power connections
- Right-angle solder termination for horizontal cable exit on space-constrained PCB layouts
- Lead-free (LF) and tin (SN) plated contacts compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations
- JST PA Series with mating PA female housing for secure polarized locking connections
Applications
The SM08B-PASS-TB (LF)(SN) is widely used in consumer electronics assemblies such as home appliances, printers, and audio equipment where a reliable 2 mm pitch 8-wire harness connects PCBs to motors, displays, or sensor modules. Its 3 A current capacity and right-angle orientation allow flat cable routing close to the PCB surface, reducing enclosure height requirements. Industrial control panels and robotics use this header to connect sensor wiring looms with positive engagement locking that resists vibration-induced disconnection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much current can each pin of the SM08B-PASS-TB (LF)(SN) handle, and what does that mean for wiring?
Each contact in the SM08B-PASS-TB (LF)(SN) is rated for 3 A, which is sufficient to carry low-voltage power lines such as 5 V or 12 V motor drive signals alongside data signals in the same 8-pin harness. Designers should use 24 AWG to 22 AWG wire for power circuits to stay within the current rating and minimize voltage drop along the cable.
How does the 2 mm pitch of the SM08B-PASS-TB compare to standard 2.54 mm pitch headers in a space-limited design?
The 2 mm pitch reduces the connector footprint by approximately 21% compared to a standard 2.54 mm pitch header — an 8-circuit 2 mm connector spans about 16 mm, versus 20.3 mm for 2.54 mm pitch. This difference is meaningful in handheld devices, compact robotics, and PCB assemblies where lateral space near the board edge is limited to less than 20 mm.
Which mating connector plugs into the SM08B-PASS-TB (LF)(SN) header?
The SM08B-PASS-TB (LF)(SN) mates with JST PA Series female housings such as the PAP-08V-S, paired with SPHD or SPH crimp terminals. The mating housing provides a positive-latch locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection, which is important in equipment subject to vibration such as motor drive assemblies and handheld power tools where 8-wire harnesses must remain reliably connected during operation.
