JST XH 2.54mm 8-Pin Both-Sided Connector Cable — Same Side & Reverse Polarity, 22AWG
Eight conductors, both ends factory-crimped, ready to connect. This JST XH 2.54mm 8-pin both-sided cable handles the most demanding single-connector extension requirements in the hobbyist and light-industrial space: full LCD character display bus extensions, 8-bit parallel data interface cables, 4x4 keypad matrix connections, and complex sensor module extensions that combine multiple protocols in a single locking connector. Available in Same Side (straight-through) and Reverse Side (mirrored) configurations.
Sixteen contacts (eight per end) are machine-crimped to a defined pull-force specification. At eight conductors, factory crimping is not just a convenience — it is a reliability requirement. The probability of at least one failed hand-crimp in a 16-contact assembly is high enough to make hand-crimping impractical for any application where connection reliability matters. Every contact in this cable meets the same pull-force standard used in automotive harness production.
22AWG stranded copper wire rated at 3A/250V. Positive latch locks on both ends. Available in 8 lengths from 10cm to 80cm and 8 wire colors.
