content: Hello, I need some JST XH connector housings but they are very hard to find in my pincount. (XHP-2,3,4)As it is not a high sensitivity component, I'll accept some compatible 3rd party solution.Do you know any compatible connector?

(Or pay $$$ for fast shipping.)Quote from: mariush on September 17, 2022, 08:07:30 amNot in stock, and also not customs pre-cleared.Customs clearance on delivery often adds days to delivery, and surprise fees ranging anywhere from zero to $35just to calculate whether or not you owe any 7.7% VAT.That’s why I STRONGLY prefer, and recommend, ordering from vendors that ship to Switzerland with customs pre-cleared, VAT already collected, like Digi-Key, Mouser, Farnell, Conrad, Reichelt, etc.
