The JST B4P-VH(LF)(SN) is a 4-pin straight male connector designed for reliable high-current connections in harsh environments. Its brass contacts with tin plating ensure corrosion resistance, while the PA66 housing provides UL94V-0 flammability. Optimized for industrial and automotive applications, it handles 10A continuous current and -25°C to +85°C operation. Key design considerations include proper soldering techniques, thermal management via copper pours, and compliance with pitch spacing requirements. The connector offers durability advantages but is limited to 4-pin configurations and higher cost compared to simpler plastic alternatives.

Application Domains

Basic Scenarios

  • Consumer electronics (IoT devices, wearable tech)
  • Automotive control systems
  • Industrial control panels

Extended Scenarios

  • Medical device connectivity
  • High-reliability aerospace systems
  • Renewable energy inverters

Precautions

Soldering

Use 300-350°C soldering temperature with 2-3 seconds per pin; avoid excessive heat exposure.

Current Limit

Max continuous current: 10A (20A peak); derate to 80% above 70°C ambient.

Voltage Limit

Max working voltage: 250V RMS; transient voltage should not exceed 300V.

Thermal Management

Thermal resistance: 0.08°C/W; ensure proper heat dissipation in dense layouts.

Storage

Store in <10% relative humidity, <40°C environment; avoid mechanical stress.

Risk Warnings
  • Static discharge damage risk
  • Over-voltage breakdown potential
  • Excessive soldering time causing plastic deformation

Alternative Model Params

  • Pitch (3.96mm equivalent)
  • Contact material (brass/tin plating)
  • Current rating (10A+)
  • Operating temperature (-25°C to +85°C+)
  • UL94V-0 flammability compliance

Design Recommendations

Layout

Maintain 3x pitch spacing for adjacent connectors; use thermal reliefs for high current paths.

Thermal

Apply 2mm copper pour around pins; consider conformal coating for harsh environments.

Compatibility

Verify PCB thickness (1.6mm minimum) and solder mask opening ≥2.5mm.

Testing

Perform 500 cycle life tests under 10A/85°C; check for oxidation post-2000 hours.

Market Positioning
