JST Manufacturer Handler Skill

Overview

JSTHandler manages JST connectors including PH, XH, SH, GH, ZH, and EH series.

Supported Component Types

• CONNECTOR
• CONNECTOR_JST

MPN Patterns

PH Series (2.0mm pitch, 3A)

Pattern	Description
PH-x	Header (male)
PHR-x	Housing (female)
PHS-x	SMT variant
PHD-x	Double row
PHL-x	Locking variant

XH Series (2.5mm pitch, 3A)

Pattern	Description
XH-x	Header (male)
XHR-x	Housing (female)
XHS-x	SMT variant
XHD-x	Double row
XHL-x	Locking variant

SH Series (1.0mm pitch, 1A)

Pattern	Description
SH-x	Header (male)
SHR-x	Housing (female)
SHS-x	SMT variant
SHD-x	Double row

GH Series (1.25mm pitch, 1A)

Pattern	Description
GH-x	Header (male)
GHR-x	Housing (female)
GHS-x	SMT variant
GHD-x	Double row

Additional Series

Series	Pitch	Current
ZH	1.5mm	1A
EH	2.5mm	3A

Package Code Extraction

Returns suffix after pin count (e.g., "PH-4-V" returns "V").

• V = Vertical THT
• R = Right Angle THT
• VS/S = Vertical SMT
• RS = Right Angle SMT

Series Extraction

Returns series prefix (e.g., "PH", "XH", "SH", "GH", "ZH", "EH").

Helper Methods

• getPitch(mpn)

  - Returns pitch in mm

• getMountingType(mpn)

  - Returns THT or SMT

• getOrientation(mpn)

  - Returns Vertical or Right Angle

• getRatedCurrent(mpn)

  - Returns rated current in Amps

• isKeyed(mpn)

  - Always returns true (all JST connectors are keyed)

• getGender(mpn)

  - Returns Male (header) or Female (housing with R suffix)

• getColor(mpn)

  - Returns White, Black, Red, or Natural based on suffix

Replacement Logic

• Must be from same series
• Must have same pin count
• Must have compatible mounting type (THT/THT or SMT/SMT)
• Must have compatible orientation (Vertical/Vertical or Right Angle/Right Angle)

Test Patterns

When testing JSTHandler:

1. Use documentation tests for

   matches()

   behavior
2. Use assertions for

   extractPackageCode()

   ,

   extractSeries()

   , null handling
3. Instantiate directly:

   new JSTHandler()
