Wire to Board Crimp style Connectors XHP-4

Product Description

Product Introduction

The XHP-4 wire to board crimp style connector is engineered to deliver exceptional electrical continuity in space-constrained environments. This connector was developed directly based on the proven, high reliability and versatile architecture of our legacy NH series connectors, bringing enhanced structural integrity to modern circuitry. Designed with a highly compact profile, the connector is very small with a mounting height of just 9.8mm, allowing engineers to maximize printed circuit board real estate without compromising on connection stability.

The housing is constructed from premium PA6 (Nylon 6) insulation material, offering a firm, rigid tactile feel while supporting a broad operating temperature range from -25°C to 85°C. This ensures consistent physical and electrical stability even when subjected to fluctuating thermal conditions. A key element of its structural design is the friction latch mechanism, which provides a distinct audible and tactile click upon mating, confirming secure engagement. This mechanism effectively resists high-frequency vibrations common in demanding mechanical environments. Furthermore, featuring a standardized 2.5mm pitch, the housing pairs flawlessly with the entire range of XH headers—including straight, surface-mount (SMT), and right-angle variants—as well as standard female contacts like the SXH-001T-P0.6, offering extensive compatibility for diverse circuit board layouts.

Product Advantage

• Advanced technology and materials: Utilizing specialized PA6 nylon, the connector shell resists environmental stress cracking and maintains dimensional stability under prolonged operational loads. The rigid nature of the material provides excellent dielectric strength and resists degradation from common industrial lubricants.
• RoHS / REACH / UL certificated: This component meets strict international safety and environmental directives, ensuring smooth integration into globally distributed end-products and providing peace of mind for compliance officers.
• Global well-known connector brand, widely used in automotive industry: The terminal design is fully compatible with official standard crimping tools, such as the WC-110, as well as premium universal applicators. This precise tooling alignment prevents insulation damage during the crimping phase, significantly boosting yield rates during volume production.
• After Sales Service: We back our components with dedicated technical assistance, helping assembly facilities optimize their crimping parameters, reduce operator fatigue, and swiftly troubleshoot any integration challenges on the factory floor.

Technical Parameters

To accommodate varying processing demands, this connector series is optimized to perfectly fit wire gauges ranging from AWG #22 to #28. Assembly facilities can select between standard insertion force and low insertion force terminal options, allowing for customized handling based on the specific ergonomic and mechanical requirements of the production line. The disconnectable type architecture facilitates easier maintenance and modular upgrades in complex electrical systems, allowing technicians to swiftly isolate circuits.

Product Uses

1. Automotive Connectors are used in the automotive industry
Within the automotive sector, these connectors manage critical signal routing across vehicle subsystems. The friction lock design ensures that connections remain firmly seated despite continuous engine vibrations, thermal cycling, and rough terrain impacts. They are frequently implemented in dashboard instrumentation, internal cabin lighting circuits, and sensor array modules where reliable performance is non-negotiable. The secure locking feel gives assembly workers immediate confirmation of a successful connection, reducing the chance of intermittent electrical faults in the finished vehicle.

2. Automotive Connectors for Harness assemblies
For dedicated wire harness assemblies, the XHP-4 provides a standardized, easy-to-handle interface. Line operators benefit from the smooth insertion profile and the immediate physical feedback of the locking mechanism. This significantly reduces operator fatigue during continuous manual assembly processes and minimizes the risk of partial mating. Beyond vehicles, these connectors are heavily utilized in industrial control panels, consumer appliance internal wiring, and automated vending equipment, where complex multi-wire bundles must be securely routed and terminated.

Packaging & Supply Chain Solutions

Understanding the throughput requirements of large-scale manufacturing facilities, we provide these connectors in optimized bulk packaging. This approach minimizes the time operators spend unwrapping individual components, directly accelerating the pace of wire harness assembly lines. The bulk format also reduces packaging waste on the factory floor. Our supply chain infrastructure is designed to support high-volume procurement schedules, ensuring that your production facilities maintain consistent inventory levels without unexpected delays. By streamlining the delivery process and offering tailored packaging configurations, we help optimize your overall operational expenditure and support rapid go-to-market strategies for your final assembled products.
