PCB461 3.96mm VH Wire to Board Connector System

Description

VH connector component selection

ULO-PCB461 is a 3.96mm-pitch VH wire-to-board family with 2 to 13 contacts. Select female housings, female crimp terminals and male PCB headers as separate components. Header orientations are vertical and right angle.

ComponentConfiguration
Female housing2–13 contacts; white; latch profile shown
Female crimp terminal22–18AWG; 10.6mm overall length
Male vertical header2–13 contacts; 14.6mm overall side-profile reference
Male right-angle header2–13 contacts; 14.9mm overall side-profile reference

PCB461 identifies the family. Specify housing count, terminal quantities and header orientation separately. Cable length and complete assembly quantities are unspecified.

The female housing shows 5.7mm body and 10.5mm latch-inclusive front-profile references, plus a 13.3mm side length. For N contacts, the male right-angle header drawing gives a contact span of (N − 1) × 3.96mm and a row length of N × 3.96mm. Its contact width is 1.14mm.

Both male side profiles show 9.4mm, 8.5mm, 4.8mm, 7.7mm and 3.2mm references. The vertical profile has a 14.6mm overall reference; the right-angle profile has a 14.9mm overall reference and a 3.7mm bent-tail reference. Check the relevant orientation drawing for clearance.
