Jst Corporation / Sales America

J.S.T. = Japan Solderless Terminals As our company name implies, Solderless Terminal, has real significance. When JST was established in 1957, we were Japan's first manufacturer and distributor of Solderless Terminals. Our founder Mr. Teiji Takahashi named it as Acchaku-Tanshi, which is used in Japanese Industrial Standard, JIS. JST's technology of electrical connections, acquired by mass-production of Solderless Terminals, has continued to evolve dynamically, thanks to the development of the electronics industry in Japan. The same technology has been used for chain terminals and diversified connectors as well as wire terminating tools and machines. Many of the products that we make connectors for have been made more and more compact over the years. Ultra thin PC connector for PC memory card, 0.5mm pitch board-to-board connector JMD, 0.5mm pitch FFC (Flexible Flat Cable)/FPC(Flexible Printed Circuit) connector FLZ and many other connectors have been developed and manufactured to comply with the various needs of the market. JST's connectors have often enabled these dramatic improvements in size and function. JST has an In-House Production System, from R&D of the product to the final manufacturing process. We are geared towards total efficiency, serving with high productivity, and micron-level precision.
