XHB2.54mm Locking Connectors, Cables & PCB Headers

XHB2.54mm is a 2.54mm-pitch connector family distinguished here by a positive locking housing. This Yoeruyo collection includes loose locking housings, pre-wired single-ended leads, male-to-female wire-to-wire pairs, extension cables, and selected straight or right-angle through-hole PCB connector kits.

The six listings cover multiple product formats rather than one universal assembly. Choose the exact option carefully because some listings also contain other connector families. Select XHB2.54mm explicitly where applicable.

Products in This Collection

Loose XHB2.54mm locking housings in selected position counts
Single-ended pre-crimped leads in selected wire gauges and lengths
Mating male and female wire-to-wire cable pairs
Single-head and double-head cable assemblies with same-order or reversed conductor layouts
Straight and right-angle through-hole PCB header kits with housings and crimp contacts
Mixed-family extension-cable listings with an XHB2.54mm option

What the Lock Changes

The latch provides stronger retention than a simple friction-fit housing, which can help prevent accidental separation during handling. It does not establish vibration, pull-force, waterproof or safety certification. Confirm the exact product requirements for the final assembly.

XHB2.54mm vs. XH2.54mm

XHB and XH products may share similar pitch terminology, but the latch, polarization, housing profile, terminal system and mating geometry can differ. A 2.54mm pitch and equal pin count do not prove interchangeability. Do not treat these products as drop-in replacements for branded JST XH parts unless the exact dimensions, contact system and mating interface have been checked.

Wire-to-Wire and Wire-to-Board Options

Pre-wired male and female XHB pairs are intended for detachable cable-to-cable connections. PCB kits add a board-mounted mating component, with straight pins for a perpendicular cable approach or right-angle pins for a lower-profile, board-edge approach. Verify footprint, pin length, board thickness and housing clearance before PCB production.

How to Select the Correct Part

Confirm the 2.54mm pitch by measuring between adjacent contact centers.
Match the position count, available here across selected 2- to 12-position options depending on the listing.
Compare latch location, keying, mating-face shape and housing dimensions.
Choose housing-only, single-ended cable, mating cable pair or PCB kit.
For cables, verify wire gauge, cable length and single- or double-ended construction.
For PCB mounting, choose straight or right-angle pins and verify the footprint.
Check the exact package quantity and included contacts before ordering.

Pinout, Polarity and Wire Order

Some cable listings offer same-order and reversed conductor layouts. These terms depend on connector orientation, so compare both mating faces rather than relying only on wire colors or listing labels. Verify continuity and polarity before connecting batteries, power supplies or sensitive electronics.

Electrical, Material and Compliance Boundaries

Wire gauge, voltage references, certifications and materials vary between listings and options. This collection does not assign one current rating, voltage rating, contact plating, housing material, temperature range or compliance status to every XHB2.54mm product. Use the exact product specification and validate the assembled connection for the intended load and environment.

Typical Applications

When properly matched and operated within product-level limits, XHB2.54mm connectors can be used for internal appliance wiring, LED assemblies, electronic toys, prototypes, control boards and detachable low-voltage harnesses. Battery, RC and industrial applications require independent checks of pinout, current, strain relief, vibration and environmental exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is XHB2.54mm identical to JST XH?
No automatic equivalence is established. Compare the complete mating interface, terminal and PCB footprint.

Does every listing include a PCB header?
No. Some products are housings or cable assemblies; selected kits include straight or right-angle board parts.

Are the wire colors a polarity standard?
No. Confirm conductor order and continuity for the exact assembly.

Can a straight header be replaced by a right-angle header?
Only if the PCB footprint, pin arrangement, mechanical clearance and cable approach all remain suitable.

Are all products rated 3A or RoHS compliant?
No collection-wide value is stated. Refer to the exact listing and supporting documentation.

Ordering Checklist

Confirm pitch, positions, latch and keying, mating gender, cable configuration, wire gauge, length, pin order, PCB orientation, package contents and quantity. Test a sample before production purchasing.
