Custom JST Cable Assemblies
Y.C. Cable manufactures custom JST cable assemblies for OEM electronic, industrial, automotive, automation, and other equipment applications.
Assemblies are manufactured according to customer-approved drawings, BOMs, JST connector and terminal part numbers, pinouts, wire specifications, dimensions, and testing requirements.
Rather than selecting a connector based only on pitch or a general series name, we recommend providing the exact JST part numbers specified in your product design.
JST Connector & Terminal Requirements
A JST cable assembly may include:
• Connector housing
• Crimp terminals or contacts
• Wires
• Wire seals when applicable
• Retainers or related connector components when specified
• Protective materials
• Labels or wire identification
For quotation, provide the exact housing and terminal part numbers whenever possible.
Wire-to-Board & Wire-to-Wire Assemblies
JST connector systems are used in a wide range of connection configurations.
Depending on the approved design, Y.C. Cable can manufacture:
• Wire-to-board cable assemblies
• Wire-to-wire cable assemblies
• Internal equipment wiring
• Power connections
• Signal connections
• Sensor connections
• Battery-related wiring
• Compact electronic interconnects
• Multi-wire connector assemblies
The final connector series, pitch, circuit count, wire range, and electrical requirements should follow the approved customer design.
Cable Assembly Customization
JST cable assemblies may be configured around:
• Exact connector series and part number
• Circuit count
• Wire gauge
• Wire insulation
• Wire color
• Cable length
• Pinout
• Connector orientation
• Labels
• Protective sleeving
• Heat-shrink
• Strain relief
• Customer-defined testing
For configurations that are not limited to a JST connector system, visit Custom Cable Assembly.
Crimping & Terminal Installation
Terminal crimping is an important part of many JST cable assemblies.
Manufacturing requirements may include:
• Correct terminal-to-wire combination
• Wire strip length
• Crimp setup
• Terminal insertion
• Connector cavity location
• Pinout verification
• Visual inspection
• Pull-force testing when specified
The applicable requirements should follow the terminal, wire, customer documentation, and approved manufacturing process.
Protection & Strain Relief
Depending on the application, JST cable assemblies may include:
• Heat-shrink
• Protective sleeving
• Cable jackets
• Strain relief
• Wire identification
• Connector labels
• Overmolding when appropriate
For molded cable configurations, visit Overmolded Cable Assemblies.
Component Sourcing
Components can be sourced according to the customer-approved BOM. If a specified JST component has an availability, lifecycle, or lead-time issue, potential alternatives may be discussed with the customer. No substitute should be introduced without the required customer approval.
Prototype to Production
JST cable assembly projects may include:
• Engineering prototypes
• NPI
• First articles
• Design validation
• Low-volume production
• Repeat production
Visit Quick-Turn Cable Assembly Prototyping for development-stage builds.
Visit Build-to-Print Cable Assembly Services for released designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Y.C. Cable manufacture a cable using our specified JST connector?
Yes. Assemblies can be manufactured around customer-approved JST connector and terminal part numbers.
Should I specify the JST series or exact part number?
The exact manufacturer part number is preferred because individual connector families can include multiple housings, terminals, circuit counts, and configurations.
Can JST assemblies include different wire colors and lengths?
Yes, according to the customer-approved drawing and BOM.
Can you support prototype JST cable assemblies?
Yes. Prototype and first-article quantities can be reviewed before repeat manufacturing.
