JST GH secure-lock wire-to-board connector family
JST GH is a nominal 1.25 mm pitch single-row wire-to-board family incorporating a positive secure-lock and manufacturer-described keying.
Also called JST GH GHR housing GH series 1.25mm 1.25mm GH connector
The GH latch and exact GHR code are better starting clues than a generic miniature-connector label.
Look for
Look for the housing’s latch structure and check the matching GH part numbers rather than relying on the pitch or cable color alone.

Does a GH-style latch identify the housing and contact?
No. GH is a distinct nominal 1.25 mm secure-lock family, and GHR-04V-S is a named four-circuit cable housing. The contact is a separate part: the catalog lists SSHL-002T-P0.2 and explicitly excludes SSHL-003( )-P0.2 from GH use. C352A · C352C · C352D
| Check | Documented distinction | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Family and latch | JST describes GH at nominal 1.25 mm with secure locking and manufacturer-specific keying. C352A · C352B | A visible latch is a clue, not proof of the family or its mating geometry. |
| Named housing | GHR-04V-S is the four-circuit housing example; its exterior latch belongs to the cable-side housing. C352C | The board header is separately specified. Do not apply housing dimensions as a board footprint. |
| Contact identity | SSHL-002T-P0.2 is listed; the catalog says SSHL-003( )-P0.2 cannot be used with GH. C352D | Do not treat a similar-looking terminal or a near-identical part code as an approved substitution. |
| Equal pitch, different family | Hirose DF13 is also nominal 1.25 mm, but it is a separate manufacturer family. C360A · C360B | Equal nominal pitch does not establish GH–DF13 mating, contact interchangeability or device wiring. |
- What the evidence supports
- Use the catalog’s exact GH housing and contact combination, including the documented locking arrangement.
- What not to conclude
- The manufacturer’s excluded SSHL-003 contact family is not an approved substitute.
- Keep this check open
- A 1.25 mm pitch match does not establish compatibility with Hirose DF13.
Keep this limit: Stop at the documented family and exact component roles. A latch, pitch or circuit count does not establish a crimp process, polarity, insertion force or safe repair. C352B · C352C · C352D
Before you choose a part
- Read the complete housing and contact designations.
- Check the manufacturer’s explicit exclusions.
- Resolve the exact header; never infer the device pinout from the housing.

Read the physical clue.
What this view supports
- A prominent external latch on the housing
- A similar terminal name is not enough: the catalog has an explicit contact restriction
What remains unknown
The latch is a qualitative recognition cue, not a force, crimping, mating or repair instruction.
The next useful check
Check the housing, header and terminal as a set; follow the manufacturer handling instructions for the latch.

Product Profile; Pitch 1.25 mm; secure locking and keying; top/side entry
JST GH wire-to-board family identification only; nominal pitch is a series descriptor. Lock style depends on exact mating part; not interchangeable with SH or other 1.25 mm systems.
Canonical evidence is retained separately. Existing claim dates are unchanged; only new V118 claims have a new inspection date. No live electrical, energized probing, forced mating or optical-port inspection is recommended.
REPAIR FIELD NOTES / Small wire-to-board series
First verify the exact manufacturer series
GH secure locking is a series-specific feature
No. JST GH is a keyed, secure-lock wire-to-board family nominally 1.25 mm pitch. The lock and key arrangement—and its specified mating parts—are decisive. Another vendor may publish the same nominal pitch with a wholly different interface.
Avoid: Assuming equal pitch makes Hirose DF13, JST GH and unlabeled clones mechanically interchangeable.
Full source-scoped reading and three practical checks ↗GH side-entry and top-entry are different selections
No. The GH manufacturer profile includes both side-entry and top-entry board configurations. That detail affects clearance, harness strain and replacement choice even when the number of positions matches; confirm the exact part drawing.
Avoid: Believing any GH-labeled board header of the same contact count is a drop-in physical repair part.

A boundary, not an omission to guess around.
Remove device power and inspect without putting stress on the lock or wires. Verify JST GH housing/header numbers, latch style and number of circuits in the manufacturer catalogue. Resolve signal ordering and power polarity from the equipment maker; no GH family-wide wiring rule is provided.

What to check
- Remove device power and inspect without putting stress on the lock or wires.
- Verify JST GH housing/header numbers, latch style and number of circuits in the manufacturer catalogue.
- Resolve signal ordering and power polarity from the equipment maker; no GH family-wide wiring rule is provided.
Important boundary
This reference establishes only the specific manufacturer-documented family and example noted in the sources. It does not verify an arbitrary mating pair, cable orientation, electrical rating or device combination. Stop and consult original documents for the exact products.
