Why Specify 0.60mm Pitch?
Smaller PCB Footprint:
A finer contact pitch can help accommodate the required number of contacts within a more restricted board area.
Lower Connector Profile:
Ultra-compact connector structures can be useful when the connector must fit within a limited Z-height.
Fine-Gauge Wire Integration:
Selected 0.60mm systems are designed around very small conductors. The JST XSR, for example, specifies AWG #36 wire and a 0.29mm insulation outside diameter.
Existing Connector Replacement:
A 0.60mm alternative may be considered when an existing connector has become too large, too expensive, difficult to source or dependent on a single supplier.
0.60mm Pitch Product Portfolio
XSR-Compatible Wire-to-Board Connectors:Highly miniaturized IDC solution. Supports 2, 4, 6, 10, 16, 20, and 22 circuits with single-row, side-entry, friction-lock retention.
Housing & Terminal Components:For sourcing projects, evaluate as a system: housing + contact/terminal + mating header + wire.
SMT Header / Wafer Options:PCB-mounted configurations for automated assembly. XSR SMT header available in embossed tape for applicable models, with circuits from 2 to 22 positions.
0.60mm vs. 0.80mm vs. 1.00mm Pitch
The smaller pitch is not automatically the best choice.The correct selection depends on the project's space, current, wire size, assembly and sourcing requirements.

When 0.80mm Still Takes Too Much PCB Space
If PCB dimensions are fixed, more circuits are needed, connector width is restricted, or multiple connectors compete for area—0.60mm provides the next miniaturization step.
When Connector Height Is a Critical Constraint
0.60mm connectors fit under or beside housings, displays, batteries, shields, or brackets. For example, XSR series offers 1.45mm mounting height and 3.0mm depth.
When Using Fine-Gauge Signal Wiring
Suitable for small-gauge wires and low current. XSR specifies AWG #36, 0.2A, and 30V. Confirm wire gauge, insulation OD, current/voltage, cable construction, and termination method.
0.60mm Pitch for Replacement & Second Sourcing
CSG's current category includes alternatives associated with JST XSR references (e.g., 02XSR-36S through 08XSR-36S and related SM-series).However, same pitch does not mean direct replacement.
Compare: Pitch → Circuit count → Dimensions → Mating interface → PCB footprint → Wire spec → Terminal/contact structure → Electrical rating → Locking/Retention → Assembly process → Environmental requirements.
Customized service for 0.60mm spacing connectors
For OEM and ODM customers, standard products may not always meet the requirements.
We can offer the following customization options: plastic housing configuration, number of circuits, terminal/contact configuration, cable length, cable specifications, wiring harness assembly, packaging and labels.
For customized projects, please provide 2D drawings, 3D models, existing samples or PCB layouts.
0.60mm Pitch Connector Sampling & Qualification
Due to the finer mechanical scale, sample evaluation is particularly important. We recommend:
Submit Existing Part:Provide original part number, photo, drawing, or sample.
Technical Comparison:Review dimensions, circuit count, PCB footprint, wire spec, electrical rating, and mating structure.
Sample Testing:Evaluate physical fit, mating, cable termination, PCB assembly, continuity, and mechanical retention.
Pilot Production:Test the connector within the customer's actual assembly process for new projects.
Approval:Confirm approved model, drawing, packaging, and quality requirements.
Volume Production:Release production order after engineering approval and commercial terms are confirmed.
0.60mm Pitch Production Capability
At this pitch, manufacturing is the differentiator. CSG runs a dedicated 0.60mm production stream rather than treating it as a scaled-down version of a 1.00mm line.
Tooling & mold development in-house:
New 0.60mm housing and terminal molds are cut and validated internally, so tooling changes for custom pin counts or keying do not depend on a third-party mold shop.
Terminal precision stamping:
Terminal blanks are formed on high-speed progressive dies with in-die vision or post-station dimensional checks to hold the fine contact geometry required for reliable mating at 0.60mm pitch.
Housing injection molding:
LCP/PA66 housings are molded on machines set up for fine-pitch parts, with gate and warp control monitored per cavity.
Semi-automated assembly & 100% continuity check:
Terminals are inserted and verified for correct seating, then passed through a continuity / short-circuit test before packaging.
Lot traceability:
Each reel or bag is labeled with material lot, production date, and machine/cavity where applicable, so a quality event can be traced back to the source lot.
Monthly capacity:
The 0.60mm series connectors are produced in tens of thousands per month and can be flexibly adjusted according to the project start-up requirements.
Fine-pitch connectors require careful packaging—small terminals and housings are more sensitive to handling damage.
Packaging options include: Protective inner packaging, PE bags, inner cartons, export cartons, embossed tape/reel for SMT products, customer-specific labels, and lot/batch identification.
Shipping methods: Express for samples, air or sea freight for larger orders—selected by quantity, destination, delivery date, and budget.
