SCONDAR SCT12580T – High‑Reliability Crimp Terminal, Fully Compatible with JST GHD Series (SGHD Terminal)

Introduction

High‑density board mounting in flat‑panel TVs, AV equipment, and other consumer electronics demands connectors that are compact yet robust. The 1.25 mm pitch double‑row GHD series from JST has become a popular solution for such applications, and its associated SGHD crimp terminalplays a critical role in ensuring stable electrical connections. The SCONDAR SCT12580T is a precision‑manufactured crimp terminal designed as a form‑fit‑function compatible alternative to the JST SGHD terminal, enabling seamless integration into existing GHD‑based wire harnesses and connector assemblies.

Direct Compatibility with JST SGHD Terminal

The SCT12580T is engineered to be a direct replacement for the JST SGHD crimp contact used in GHD series dual row housings (such as GHDR‑xxV‑S‑1). It shares the same mechanical dimensions, contact geometry, and electrical specifications, ensuring reliable mating with standard 1.25 mm pitch pin headers and secure retention inside GHD‑compatible housings. Whether you are manufacturing new harnesses or servicing existing equipment, the SCT12580T provides a dependable, cost‑effective second source without the need for requalification or tooling changes.

Key Specifications

All ratings below are taken directly from the provided product specification. No additional parameters are assumed.

These specifications meet the electrical and mechanical demands of signal‑level and low‑power applications in flat‑panel displays, AV equipment, and industrial controls.

Material & Construction for Reliable Termination

The SCT12580T is manufactured from phosphor bronze, a material widely used in high‑quality crimp terminals due to its excellent combination of strength, conductivity, and fatigue resistance. The contact is finished with tin plating, providing good solderability, corrosion protection, and stable contact performance in standard environments.

The terminal is designed for crimp termination onto discrete wires. The crimp barrel accepts wire sizes from 32AWG to 26AWG with insulation outside diameters ranging from 0.4mm to 1.0mm. This wire range aligns exactly with the JST SGHD terminal, ensuring the same cable preparation and crimping tools can be used.

Compatibility with GHD Series Housing Features

The SCT12580T is specifically designed to work with housings that incorporate the key features of the JST GHD series, including:

• Secure lock device – The terminal’s lance geometry engages positively with the housing’s locking mechanism, preventing accidental pull‑out and ensuring a stable connection even under vibration.

• Low insertion force – Optimized contact geometry allows the terminal to be inserted into the housing with minimal force, improving assembly efficiency and reducing operator fatigue.

• Prevention of contact deformation – The terminal’s design includes protective features that align the contact within the housing cavity, preventing stubbing or bending during mating with pin headers.

• Suction area for pick‑up – Although the terminal itself is not directly picked, it is compatible with housings that feature a flat suction area, enabling fully automated assembly processes.

When crimped onto wires and inserted into a compatible dual row housing (such as the SCONDAR SCT12580H‑2x series or JST GHDR‑xxV‑S‑1), the SCT12580T delivers the same reliable performance as the original SGHD terminal.

Application Areas

The SCT12580T is ideal for high‑density wire‑to‑board connections in:

• Flat‑panel TVs and displays – Internal wiring between main boards, timing controllers, and source drivers

• AV equipment – DVD/Blu‑ray players, home theater systems, soundbars, set‑top boxes

• Computer peripherals – Printers, scanners, monitors

• Industrial controls – PLCs, HMIs, sensor modules

• Medical devices – Diagnostic equipment, patient monitors

• Automotive infotainment – Non‑safety critical interior electronics
