The XHP-12 wire-to-board receptacle housing represents a highly refined evolution in compact circuit connections. Engineered directly from the proven reliability and extensive versatility found in our established NH series connectors, this specific twelve-position component delivers exceptional performance in confined spatial environments. When fully mated, the assembly maintains an incredibly low profile, featuring a precise mounting height of exactly 9.8mm. This minimized vertical footprint provides engineers and system architects with significant spatial advantages when designing densely populated printed circuit boards.
Manufactured utilizing premium-grade Polyamide (PA6) nylon, the housing exhibits outstanding electrical insulation properties alongside inherent flame retardancy for long-term operational safety. Handling the component reveals a rigid, structurally sound thermoplastic body that actively resists deformation during manual or automated assembly. During the mating process, operators will notice a distinct, reassuring tactile click, confirming secure physical engagement. This housing is perfectly calibrated to accommodate standard XH series shrouded headers, including variations such as the B12B and S12B-XH-A, as well as dedicated crimp terminals, creating a comprehensive, single-source wire harness assembly solution.
Understanding the precise electrical and mechanical specifications is crucial for successful integration into your electrical architecture. The XHP-12 operates with exceptional stability across a broad thermal spectrum, maintaining reliable electrical transmission from -25°C up to 85°C. This wide operating temperature range ensures consistent functionality regardless of severe environmental fluctuations. Furthermore, the system is engineered to accommodate a versatile range of wire gauges, broadly compatible with 30 AWG through 22 AWG wire sizes. This flexibility supports highly efficient wire-to-board crimping processes across various production lines. Below are the exact technical specifications defining this component's operational parameters.
