### Overview: XARP-02V-R The **XARP-02V-R** is a specialized connector housing from the **XA Series** manufactured by **JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)**. It is widely used in electronic assemblies for secure, wire-to-wire connections. --- ### Technical Specifications | Property | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | XA Series | | **Part Number** | XARP-02V-R | | **Connector Type** | Receptacle Housing (Plug) | | **Number of Positions** | 2 Positions | | **Pitch (Spacing)** | 2.5 mm | | **Mounting Type** | Free Hanging (In-Line) | | **Color** | Red (The "R" suffix indicates Red) | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC/DC | | **Current Rating** | 3A (depending on wire gauge) | --- ### Key Components and Design Features #### 1. Locking Mechanism The housing features a **secure friction lock** (sometimes referred to as a positive lock). This ensures that the connection remains intact even under vibration or mechanical stress, preventing accidental disconnection. #### 2. Polarization The XARP-02V-R is designed with a specific shape to prevent **mismating**. It can only be inserted into its corresponding mate in one orientation, protecting the circuit from reverse polarity. #### 3. Material Properties * **Housing Material:** Typically made of PA 66 (Nylon 66). * **Flammability Rating:** Usually UL94V-0 rated, ensuring it is self-extinguishing in case of fire. #### 4. Contact Compatibility Note that the housing **does not include the metal pins**. You must purchase the crimp terminals separately. * **Compatible Terminals:** SXA-001T-P0.6 (standard) or similar XA series crimp contacts. * **Wire Gauge:** Typically accepts 22 to 28 AWG wire. --- ### Common Applications * **Consumer Electronics:** Power supply connections in home appliances. * **Industrial Automation:** Sensor wiring and control signal distribution. * **RC/Hobbies:** Battery leads and motor connections in small-scale robotics. * **LED Lighting:** Used for connecting LED strips to drivers. ---
