Product Description
VH3.96 is a 3.96 mm pitch, medium-to-high current wire-to-board connector designed for appliances, power supplies, LED drivers, and industrial control, handling both power and signal. Available in SMT (vertical/right-angle) and THT (straight/90°) variants, it features polarization keys, friction latch/snap options, and reinforced solder/board-lock designs to improve vibration resistance and pull-out strength, while supporting automated assembly.
Key features
- Pitch: 3.96 mm; circuits: 2–12 pins (more on request)
- Mounting: SMT vertical/right-angle; THT straight/90°
- Mechanical and safety: polarized anti-mismating, optional friction latch/snap, shrouded housing walls, clear tactile mating
- Reinforcement: large pads, metal stiffener/side solder tabs, board locks for enhanced retention and vibration performance
- Mating parts: matching terminals and housings; common wire gauges AWG16–22 (terminal dependent)
- Materials and plating: housing PA66/PA9T, UL94 V-0; terminals copper alloy, nickel underplate + matte tin; selective gold on contact area optional
Electrical performance (typical; see datasheet)
- Current rating: up to ~10 A per contact (depends on wire gauge, circuit count, and temperature rise criteria)
- Voltage rating: up to 250 V AC/DC
- Contact resistance: ≤ 10 mΩ (typical)
- Insulation resistance: ≥ 1000 MΩ
- Dielectric withstand: ≥ 1500 VAC for 1 minute
Environmental and reliability
