SCONDAR SCT1016H Housing – Form-Fit-Function Alternative to JST NSH Series, 1.0mm Pitch Secure Lock Connector
Article:
The SCONDAR SCT1016H Housing is a high-performance, 1.0mm pitch wire-to-board connector solution designed for applications requiring reliable locking mechanisms with low insertion force. It is mechanically and electrically compatible with the JST NSH series (NSHR-xxV-S), allowing seamless integration into existing designs while offering a fully independent, non-infringing alternative.
Secure Lock with Low Insertion Force
Like the proven SHL-style contact concept, the SCT1016H adopts a secure lock design that provides audible and tactile mating feedback. Its low insertion force enables easier, faster assembly and reduces operator fatigue during high-volume production, without compromising retention strength.
Electrical & Environmental Specifications
Current Rating:Â 1A AC/DC
Voltage Rating:Â 50V AC/DC
Insulation Resistance: 100MΩ min.
Withstanding Voltage:Â 500V AC for 1 minute
Contact Resistance: 30mΩ max.
Operating Temperature: -25℃ to +85℃
These ratings make the SCT1016H suitable for a wide range of compact electronic devices, including home appliances, industrial controls, LED lighting, and battery-powered equipment.
Housing Material
The insulator (housing) is molded from PA66 (UL94-V0) in white color, offering excellent flame retardancy, mechanical strength, and heat resistance.
Compatibility Note
The SCT1016H is designed as a functional equivalent to the JST NSHR-xxV-S series (1.0mm pitch, secure lock type). It fits the same PCB headers and crimp terminals, but is manufactured independently by SCONDAR. Customers looking for a second source, supply chain flexibility, or cost optimization can use the SCT1016H as a drop-in replacement.
No IP Infringement
SCONDAR confirms that the SCT1016H series is based on its own tooling, contact geometry, and material systems. The product achieves similar electrical and mechanical performance as the SHL/NSH platform through independent engineering, not by copying protected designs. Users should ensure their specific application validates compatibility, as minor differences may exist in tolerances or secondary features.
