ZH1.5mm Connectors, Cables & PCB Headers
ZH1.5mm Connectors for Compact Wire-to-Board Wiring
ZH1.5mm connectors are compact, single-row interconnects with contacts on a nominal 1.5mm pitch. This Yoeruyo collection includes cable housings, crimp terminals, pre-crimped leads, finished wire harnesses, extension cables, adapter cables, PCB headers and component kits.
The 50 products cover dedicated ZH1.5mm parts as well as mixed-family listings that offer ZH alongside SH1.0mm, 1.25mm, PH2.0mm, XH2.54mm and other options. Select the ZH1.5mm variant explicitly. Wire gauge, cable length, material, electrical rating, certification and package contents differ by product, so individual listing data takes priority over category-level guidance.
ZH1.5mm Products in This Collection
- Housings and crimp contacts: loose components for custom cable and harness assembly.
- Pre-crimped wires: single-ended or double-ended leads, commonly offered in multiple colors and lengths.
- Finished cable assemblies: single-head, double-head, same-side, reverse-side and male-to-female configurations.
- PCB headers: straight and right-angle through-hole parts plus selected vertical and horizontal surface-mount formats.
- Adapter cables: selected ZH1.5mm transitions to Dupont 2.54mm and other connector families.
- Connector kits: assortments combining housings, contacts, headers or pre-crimped leads.
- Assembly tools: selected crimp-tool listings that support several terminal families; verify the applicable terminal and wire range.
How to Select a ZH1.5mm Connector
- Measure the pitch. Confirm 1.5mm center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts. Do not measure the complete housing width.
- Count positions. Match the exact circuit count, typically shown as 2P, 3P and upward depending on the listing.
- Compare the mating geometry. Check housing profile, polarization, friction-lock features, contact shape and insertion direction.
- Choose the PCB format. Decide between through-hole and surface mount, then confirm vertical, straight, horizontal or right-angle cable entry.
- Check the cable specification. Verify wire gauge, insulation, length, conductor colors, termination at both ends and whether the pinout is straight or reversed.
- Review package contents. A listing may include only a housing, only contacts, a PCB header, pre-crimped wires or a complete kit.
- Validate ratings at product level. Current, voltage, temperature and certification claims must match the exact terminal, housing, header and wire combination.
ZH1.5mm vs. SH1.0mm, 1.25mm and PH2.0mm
These connector families can look similar in photographs but are not interchangeable. ZH products use a nominal 1.5mm pitch, compared with 1.0mm for SH, 1.25mm for several compact families and 2.0mm for PH. Pitch is only the first check: latch shape, housing dimensions, terminals and PCB footprint must also match. Never force a connector that appears close in size.
PCB Header Orientation
A vertical or straight-entry header is generally selected when the cable approaches above the PCB. A horizontal or right-angle header routes the cable roughly parallel to the board and can reduce height. Through-hole parts use solder tails passing through the PCB, while SMD parts solder to surface pads. Confirm the manufacturer drawing, footprint, pin-one position and enclosure clearance before board layout or replacement.
Pinout and Cable Direction
“Same side,” “reverse side,” “same direction” and “reverse direction” can describe how contacts or conductor colors appear at each cable end. These terms are not a universal pinout standard. Compare both connectors from the same reference view, preferably the mating face, and test continuity before powering equipment. Adapter cables change the mechanical connector family but do not automatically translate signal order or voltage levels.
Typical Applications
ZH1.5mm connectors can be used in compact sensors, cameras, LED modules, robotics, instruments, control boards, consumer electronics and internal signal or low-power wiring when the chosen product meets the design requirements. Use in medical, safety-critical, battery or high-vibration equipment requires application-specific engineering review and verified component data.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ZH1.5mm connector?
It is a compact connector format with a nominal 1.5mm contact pitch, commonly used for single-row wire-to-board connections.
Are all products here official JST parts?
No such assumption should be made. Product titles may use common industry search terminology to describe format or mating style. Check the brand and exact part information on each listing.
Is ZH1.5mm compatible with SH1.0mm or 1.25mm connectors?
No. Their pitch and mechanical interfaces differ. Match the complete connector system, not only the number of pins.
Do all ZH cables use 28AWG wire?
No collection-wide guarantee applies. Many listings specify 28AWG, but mixed-family and other cable products can differ. Verify the selected option.
Which header should I use for a low-profile design?
A horizontal or right-angle option may reduce height, but the final choice depends on PCB footprint, cable bend radius and enclosure clearance.
Can a ZH-to-Dupont cable be connected directly to any development board?
Only after confirming pin spacing, socket gender, conductor order, signal assignment and voltage compatibility.
Should I buy loose parts or pre-crimped wires?
Loose parts suit production harnesses and custom pinouts. Pre-crimped leads reduce tooling needs when their wire and terminal specifications match the design.
ZH1.5mm Procurement Checklist
Record the pitch, position count, housing and contact type, mating header, PCB orientation, wire gauge, cable length, pinout and package quantity. For mixed-pitch listings, confirm the ZH1.5mm option before checkout. Validate samples against the intended mating component before volume purchasing.
