25SH-B-10-TS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 25SH-B-10-TS is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Adam Tech, designed for through-hole mounting with 10 vertical positions at 2.5mm pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The shrouded 4-wall design with friction lock fastening provides reliable board-to-cable/wire connections in applications requiring 3A current capacity at 250VAC.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 25SH-B-10-TS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header) and contact type (Male Pin)
• Pitch specification (0.098" / 2.50mm)
• Position count (10 positions, single row)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Electrical ratings (3A current, 250V minimum voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C)
• Insulation material class (Polyamide PA66 / Nylon 6/6)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, EAR99)

The B10B-XH-A from JST Sales America Inc. meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction lies in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and fastening mechanism (Detent Lock vs. Friction Lock), which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the defined parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B10B-XH-A qualifies as a direct substitute for the 25SH-B-10-TS based on electrical, mechanical, and regulatory equivalence. The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support compared to the Obsolete status of the original component.

Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (3A, 250V), operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C), and material compliance (UL94 V-0, ROHS3). The physical dimensions, contact geometry, and insulation properties are equivalent across all critical parameters.

The B10B-XH-A employs a Detent Lock fastening mechanism and Press-Fit termination option in place of the original Friction Lock and Kinked Pin configuration. These differences do not affect functional compatibility within the specified parameter constraints. The substitute part's mated stacking height specification (9.8mm) provides additional dimensional documentation not available for the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B10B-XH-A directly replace the 25SH-B-10-TS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts meet identical specifications for pitch (2.50mm), position count (10), mounting method (Through Hole), electrical ratings (3A, 250V), and operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C). Physical dimensions and contact geometry are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between Friction Lock and Detent Lock fastening?

A: Both fastening types provide secure mating without additional hardware. Friction Lock relies on mechanical friction between mating surfaces, while Detent Lock uses a spring-loaded mechanism. Within the specified parameter set, both provide equivalent functional performance for board-to-cable/wire connections.

Q: Are there differences in termination methods between these parts?

A: The 25SH-B-10-TS uses Kinked Pin with Solder termination, while the B10B-XH-A offers Press-Fit and Solder options. Both termination methods are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes. The Press-Fit option in the substitute part provides additional flexibility for manufacturing.

Q: Does the insulation color difference (White vs. Natural) affect compatibility?

A: No. Insulation color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts use identical insulation material (Polyamide PA66 / Nylon 6/6) with equivalent flammability ratings (UL94 V-0).

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The B10B-XH-A is listed as Active product status with 4550 pieces in stock, compared to the 25SH-B-10-TS Obsolete status with 1196 pieces available. The substitute part offers superior long-term availability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 25SH-B-10-TS and B10B-XH-A are ROHS3 Compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). The original part is REACH Unaffected, and both carry EAR99 export classification.
