JST’s XSR Series Connector is World’s Smallest 0.6mm Pitch ID Connector
February 2008—The new XSR Series wire-to-board connector, recently introduced by JST Corporation, is the world’s smallest 0.6mm pitch insulation displacement (ID) connector for discrete wires. With a mounting height of 1.45mm and a depth of 3mm, this connector is perfect where space is a concern and miniaturization is a requirement. The proven twin U-slot, along with a new design approach for wire strain relief, guarantees a highly reliable contact/connector system. This connector system has a secure locking design between the socket housing and PCB assembly, accompanied by an audible click to ensure connector mating integrity.

The XSR Series is currently available in 2-, 4-, 6-, 10-, 16-, 20-, and 22-position wire connectors, with accompanying side entry printed circuit board connectors. The series is rated at 0.2 amps (AC/DC) at 30 volts AC/DC. Wire is 36 gauge (insulation diameter 0.29+/- 0.015mm), seven-strand tin-plated copper alloy, UL10064 (Hitachi) or UL1867 (Sumitomo). Temperature range is -25°C to +85°C (including temperature rise in applying electrical current). Socket housings and PCB assemblies are 94-V0-rated polyamide material. Contacts are copper alloy, tin-plated. Series complies with the European RoHS directive. Headers are provided on embossed tape for automatic insertion equipment.

Hand-press, pneumatic-press, and high-volume automatic machines are available for ID termination.
