Product Details
| Product Features | Engineering Advantages | Customer Benefits |
| Large 3.96mm Pitch Design | Provides superior electrical clearance and creepage distance for higher voltage/current loads. | Stable Power Delivery: Prevents arcing and short circuits in high-power applications like washing machine controllers or industrial power supplies, ensuring system uptime. |
| Electric Shock Prevention Shrouds | Features an extended housing wall that covers the terminals to prevent accidental contact. | Enhanced Operator Safety: Dramatically reduces the risk of accidental finger-to-terminal contact during testing and maintenance, complying with global safety standards. |
| Integrated Friction Latch Lock | Equipped with a robust locking mechanism that ensures a positive “click” when mated. | Anti-Vibration Reliability: Guarantees that the power connection stays intact even in high-vibration appliances (e.g., HVAC fans, motors), preventing intermittent power failures. |
| Automotive-Grade PA6 Material | Molded from premium Nylon 6 for high tensile strength and chemical resistance. | Long-Term Durability: Resists brittle cracking and deformation under thermal stress, maintaining the structural integrity of the connection for the entire life of the product. |

Q1: What is the difference between VHR-5N and VHR-5M?
A: The VHR-5M version features a specialized housing design for Electric Shock Prevention. The “M” type has a higher shroud around the contacts to prevent fingers or tools from touching the live terminals, making it safer for consumer appliances.
Q2: What wire gauge (AWG) is best for the VHR-5M to reach 10A?
A: To achieve the maximum rated current of 10A, you should use AWG #16 wire with the corresponding VH series terminals (e.g., SVH-41T-P1.1). Using thinner wire like AWG #22 will limit the current capacity to approximately 5A.
Q3: Is the VH series compatible with 3.81mm or 4.0mm pitch headers?
A: No, the VH series is precisely 3.96mm (0.156″). While it may appear similar to other pitches, using a different header will cause terminal misalignment and potential electrical failure. Always mate VHR-5M with JST VH series headers.
