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.

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.

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

Value: -25..85 · Unit: degC

Conditions: including terminal temperature rise

Verdict: PASS - primary-source confirmed · Provenance: PRIMARY-SPEC

Evidence: src-jst-xh-catalog: page 1 Specifications table row Temperature range

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

Conditions: B6B-XH-A(LF)(SN) orderable

Verdict: PASS - primary-source confirmed · Provenance: PRIMARY-SPEC

Evidence: src-jst-xh-header: page 5 Header table row B6B-XH-A and note 1

Fact: fact-jst-b6b-xh-a-pitch

Value: 2.5 · Unit: mm

Conditions: XH series contact pitch

Verdict: PASS - primary-source confirmed · Provenance: PRIMARY-SPEC

Evidence: src-jst-xh-catalog: page 1 title/features row Pitch 2.50 mm

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.

Pin maps

The mapping between schematic pins and PCB pads, or physical terminals for an external part, as recorded. A record may carry more than one map when the same part is documented in more than one context.

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).

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.
