Generated from the component evidence records — edit the records, not this page.
Everything below is projected from this project's stored component evidence. Values keep the exact wording, conditions, units and verdicts they were recorded with — nothing here is re-typed, corrected, or combined into an overall judgement about the part.

Coverage
Coverage is stated one domain at a time and is never rolled up. A domain marked open is a question that has not been answered; it is not a finding that the part is unsuitable. A record with no open domains has not thereby been declared safe.
header identity/pitch/ratings/dimensions
Coverage ID: cov-jst-header · Status: COVERED
Reason: Official JST XH catalog general table and B6B-XH-A row
Facts in this domain:
Board A and Board B signal mapping
Coverage ID: cov-jst-project-map · Status: COVERED
Reason: board-split-decision.md records the historical J4 (board-a)/J5 (board-b) cable pinout (pins 1-2 +15V, 3 ATT, 4 PDOK, 5-6 GND) and its two-contact current-derating calculation. This covers the documented project mapping, not an assembled harness or the renewed Board P stacking interface. C144397 remains placed only at Board A J4 in the current inventory.
Facts in this domain:
mating housing/contact/wire/completed harness selection
Coverage ID: cov-jst-harness · Status: OPEN
Reason: No mating BOM, wire specification, crimp process, or completed pin-to-pin harness has been selected; board-split-decision.md names candidate options (commodity pre-crimped lead, or JST XHP-6 housing + SXH-001T-P0.6 contacts) but does not commit to one.
Facts in this domain:
Blocked by: these facts must be resolved before the domain can close. Each is listed in full under Facts.
Facts
Each fact keeps its value, its unit, the conditions it holds under, where it came from and how far it has been confirmed as separate fields, because they are separate claims. A value without its conditions is not the same fact, and a verdict is about the evidence for the value, not about the part.
RECOMMENDED_OPERATION
The range the manufacturer intends the part to be used in. Always narrower than the absolute maximum.
Fact: fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-current
Value: 3 · Unit: A
Conditions: AC/DC maximum with applicable XH contact and wire-size conditions; harness selection can derate
Verdict: PASS - primary-source confirmed · Provenance: PRIMARY-SPEC
Evidence: src-jst-xh-catalog: page 1 Specifications table row Current rating
Fact: fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-voltage
Value: 250 · Unit: V
Conditions: AC/DC series rating under catalog test conditions; PCB spacing/system safety still governs
Verdict: PASS - primary-source confirmed · Provenance: PRIMARY-SPEC
Evidence: src-jst-xh-catalog: page 1 Specifications table row Voltage rating
Fact: fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-temperature

PROJECT_STATE
A value this project recorded about how the part is used here — a chosen operating point, a net assignment, or a derived figure. Not a manufacturer specification.
Fact: fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-manufacturer
Value: JST · Unit: NONE
Conditions: exact B6B-XH-A header; (LF)(SN) label suffix
Verdict: PASS - primary-source confirmed · Provenance: PRIMARY-SPEC
Evidence: src-jst-xh-header: page 5 Header table row B6B-XH-A and JST footer
Fact: fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-identity
Value: six-circuit top-entry through-hole XH header; label displays (LF)(SN) · Unit: NONE

Verdict: PASS - primary-source confirmed · Provenance: PRIMARY-SPEC
Evidence: src-
Fact: fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-dimensions
Value: A=12.5 mm, B=17.4 mm; six circuits; square 0.64 mm posts · Unit: NONE
Conditions: top-entry B6B-XH-A dimension figure/table
Verdict: PASS - primary-source confirmed · Provenance: PRIMARY-SPEC
Evidence: src-jst-xh-header: page 5 Header table row 6 circuits B6B-XH-A and top-entry dimension figure
Fact: fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-harness
Value: mating housing, contacts, wire gauge/color/length, crimp process, and complete pin-to-pin harness are unselected · Unit: NONE
Conditions: current project state; family compatibility is not a selected assembly. board-split-decision.md names a commodity pre-crimped 6-way XH-to-XH lead (AWG 22, 80-150 mm) or a build from JST XHP-6 housings + SXH-001T-P0.6 contacts as options, but neither is committed
Verdict: NEEDS BENCH · Provenance: PROJECT-CHOICE
Evidence: src-jst-xh-catalog: mating-parts tables versus project open-domain declaration
Fact: fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-locked-contract
Value: J4 (board-a) and J5 (board-b): pins 1-2 +15V (board-a VBUS_OUT, post-Q1-load-switch, paired A->B conductors), 3 ATT (STUSB4500 U1.11/ATTACH, open-drain active-low, no on-board pull-up, may be left unconnected), 4 PDOK (STUSB4500 U1.20/POWER_OK2, open-drain active-low, asserts on a live PDO2 15V contract, same pull-up rule as ATT), 5-6 GND (paired return) · Unit: NONE
Conditions: Historical #90 A-to-B cable contract: the same pinout applied at J4 (board-a) and the former JST J5 (board-b). The renewed Board B J5 uses a different stacking header; this fact does not identify that current component or qualify a physical cable.
Verdict: NEEDS BENCH · Provenance: PROJECT-CHOICE
Evidence: src-jst-board-split-decision: Decision set (b), Pinout - LOCKED table
Fact: fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-current-derating-math
Value: 2-contact +15V (and 2-contact GND) capacity at 80% continuous derating = 4.8 A derated (6.0 A nameplate) versus the 3.0 A PD-contract worst-case load = 1.6x derated margin (2.0x nameplate) · Unit: NONE
Conditions: Historical A-to-B cable calculation using fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-current (3 A/contact nameplate) and the documented two-contact +15V/GND pairing with a project-assumed 80% continuous derating. It records arithmetic margin, not measured harness capacity or the rating of the renewed Board P stacking header.

Interactions
Behaviour that is not a property of this part alone. Each interaction names the records it spans, the conditions it holds under, and how far it has been confirmed. An interaction that spans several parts appears on every one of their pages, under the same identifier, because it is equally a fact about each.
int-jst-board-map
Records involved:
rec-jst-b6b-xh-a(this record)Conditions: For the historical #90 A-to-B cable contract, J4 (board-a) pins 1-2 = +15V (Board A VBUS_OUT, post-Q1-load-switch, paired A->B conductors), 3 = ATT (STUSB4500 U1.11/ATTACH, open-drain active-low, no on-board pull-up), 4 = PDOK (STUSB4500 U1.20/POWER_OK2, open-drain active-low, asserts on a live PDO2 15V contract), and 5-6 = GND (paired return). The former JST J5 (board-b) used the identical cable pinout; the renewed Board B J5 is a different stacking header. Before using the historical cable interface, verify both pin-1 orientations, end-to-end continuity and actual mating polarization. A polarized housing does not establish correct internal conductor mapping.
Verdict: NEEDS BENCH
Facts this rests on:
int-jst-harness-bench
Records involved:
rec-jst-b6b-xh-a(this record)Conditions: With power absent, inspect mating latch/key, tug-test every crimp, continuity-test all six conductors end-to-end, verify no adjacent shorts and duplicate power/ground conductors, then current-limit first power and check connector/wire temperature under maximum intended load (worst-case 3.0 A PD-contract cap against the 1.6x/2.0x derated/nameplate margin).
Verdict: NEEDS BENCH

Cross-component rules
Rules that span several parts at once and are published in full on the integration page. Each rule's verdict below is that rule's own — it is a statement about the cross-component question, not about this part — and the exact wording of what the rule refuses to conclude is published with the rule itself.
No cross-component rule names this record.
