Gather for this segment — steps 08.33–08.36 (~25 min)
Electronics 2 box

Tools and consumables
- E0508 ferrule, only if re-terminating ×2
- JST-PH2.0 2-pin housing and crimps, only if re-terminating
- flush cutters
- small flat file
- 3-core 0.16 mm² wire, AWG26–30, 320 mm, only if not pre-soldered
Set out for later steps
- 50×50×15 centrifugal fan, 24 V ×1
Already on the bench
- the Revo heater and thermistor leads
- the logo LED in its carrier
Parts:
- the Revo heater and thermistor leads · already on the bench
- E0508 ferrule ×2, only if re-terminating · consumable
- JST-PH2.0 2-pin housing and crimps, only if re-terminating · consumable
Do:
- Open the Toolhead PCB Cables bag. If LDO's cables mate the Revo's Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 2-pin, use them as-is.
- Otherwise cut the Revo pigtails and fit E0508 ferrules for
HE0, a JST-PH2.0 2-pin housing forTH0.(verify on bench — depends on what LDO packed for the Revo option)
Check
Heater leads end in two crimped E0508 ferrules with no stray strands. Thermistor lead ends in a 2-pin PH2.0 housing that drops into TH0 without force.
What you're looking at
The Nitehawk-SB V2 is the toolboard: a PCB on the toolhead collecting heater, thermistor, fans, LEDs, probe and motor onto one USB-plus-24 V umbilical. HE0 is the heater screw terminal, TH0 the 2-pin JST-PH2.0 socket. A ferrule stops stranded wire splaying in a screw terminal.
Caution
Rev D+ / LDO: the Rev D wiring guide says "the connector type to use is JST-XH2.5 two pin" for the thermistor. On the V2 board TH0, PROBE and the XY endstop are JST-PH2.0. An XH2.5 housing will not fit, and the PH2.0 body is easy to force into the wrong header — check the silkscreen before every insertion. src
