1000pcs Bulk Pack 3.96mm Pitch Right Angle SMT Male Header, Surface Mount PCB Board-to-Wire Wafer Connector with Solder Tabs (JST VH Equivalent)

• Automated SMT Ready: Specially packaged in industrial bulk carrier formats (Tape & Reel available) with pick-and-place suction caps, optimized for high-speed automated EMS/SMT production lines.

• Enhanced Mechanical Strength: Equipped with heavy-duty side solder tabs (metal pegs) to distribute insertion/extraction forces, preventing PCB pad peeling and ensuring rugged board retention.

• High-Temperature Resistant: Manufactured with premium, reflow-compatible housing material (LCP / Nylon 9T) rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C without deformation.

• Seamless Drop-in Replacement: 100% compatible with industry-standard 3.96mm pitch JST VH series and Molex KK 396 right angle SMT configurations. Perfect for cost optimization in high-power electronics.

• Industrial Grade Rating: Supports heavy-duty power up to 7A AC/DC per circuit at 250V. Ideal for slim-profile switching power supplies, LED drivers, and industrial control modules.

## Product Overview

This listing features a bulk lot of 1,000 pieces of 3.96mm pitch right-angle SMT (Surface Mount Technology) male headers. Engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern Contract Manufacturers (EMS) and OEMs, this component allows full automation of the PCB assembly line, eliminating the costly and time-consuming manual wavesoldering processes required by traditional through-hole connectors.

With its low-profile, side-entry design, it is the premier choice for space-constrained electronics such as thin server power supplies, industrial control boards, and smart grid equipment. To solve the traditional SMT strength issue, these connectors feature reinforced metallic solder tabs that secure the connector firmly to the PCB pad, offering exceptional resistance against heavy wire-harness pulling.
