JST’s PA Connector is a 2.00mm pitch Wire-to-Board/Wire-to-Wire connector. This robust and versatile product is available with a broad range of features that include TPA (Terminal Position Assurance), Positive-lock and Surface mountability to meet varying industrial requirements.

Initially developed for TV and Audio applications, this connector was the first to include a Secure Lock feature for an IDC connector. This product offers a breadth of flexibility, making it ideal for device areas such as; Telecommunications, Medical, Sensor/Control, Power and Automotive etc..

The PA Connector is available in 2 to 16 circuit variations, with a current rating of 3Amps, 250V AC/DC Voltage and operating temperature range of -25^OC to +85^OC

Applications

• Medical
• Sensor and Control

# These are a representation of some of the applications and uses of this product, and is by no means definitive.

Connector variation

• The connector is available in four variations;
• PA Connector (Standard Type)
• PA Connector (Retainer Mountable Type)
• PAF Connector (IDC Type)
• PAL Connector (Wire-to-Wire Type)

Secure locking device

• The housing has a locking feature that prevents accidental disconnection due to restricted wire routing or high environmental vibration.

Interchangeability between Crimp and IDC Socket

• Both Crimp and IDC sockets use the same headers and wire-to-wire mating halves.

Secondary Retainer – Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)

• The Secondary Retainer or TPA feature ensures that the crimped contact has been inserted fully into the housing. It's a feature that aids the production/assembly process where it is not always easy to check that the crimped contact has been inserted correctly into the housing.

PCB Mounting Technology

• Suitable PCB Headers are available for both Through Hole (THT) and Surface Mount (SMT) application processes.

Highly reliable contact design

• The contact box design concept, offers a high degree of interface performance under conditions of vibration, distortion, low voltage or low current.

Application Equipment

• Hand, Semi-Automatic and Fully Automatic assembly devices are available. See Tooling tab for further details.

Standards

• UL Recognized E60389
• CSA Certified LR28012

RoHS Compliant
