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.
