JST VH Female Connector Housing, 3.96 mm Pitch, 4 Way, Polybutylene Terephthalate, VHR-4M

The JST VHR-4M VH Female Connector Housing is designed for cable mounting in PCB and wire applications, featuring a 3.96 mm pitch and a 4-way single row configuration. This compact connector utilises polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) material for enhanced durability and reliability. The housing includes a secure lock mechanism, which prevents the connector from loosening due to vibration and mitigates risks of misalignment or reverse insertion.

With its proven box contact design, the VH housing supports a wide variety of signal, power supply and output circuits. It offers a large current carrying capacity of up to 10A, making it suitable for both low-voltage signal circuits and relatively high-capacity power supply circuits. The mounting height of only 16.5 mm enables integration in compact PCBs and electronic assemblies. The connector's straight orientation and cable mount type streamline wiring and assembly for electronic equipment manufacturers and designers.

Typical use cases include consumer electronics, industrial control systems, instrumentation, and applications requiring reliable signal or power connectivity. Its robust design ensures performance in environments where vibration or movement could impact connector stability. The secure contact and mounting make it ideal for automotive, appliance, and industrial control panel installations.

The VH Female Connector Housing is part of JST's VH series, further benefiting from compatibility with VH disconnectable crimp style connectors. It directly supports wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connections, giving engineers flexibility in interface and circuit design.

Constructed from polybutylene terephthalate, the housing withstands mechanical stress and offers resistance to environmental influences encountered in assembly and field use. The width of 10.6 mm and length of 15.78 mm ensure it fits into tight spaces without compromising connectivity or electrical performance.

This connector is supplied as a single housing for four contacts, with easy integration into existing wiring and PCB layouts. Its reliability and ease of mounting support robust, repeatable installations across industrial, consumer and laboratory equipment.
