SHF-105-01-F-D-RA

The SHF-105-01-F-D-RA is a type of rectangular connector of which the commonly used name is the header. Headers provide a secure connection between two circuits, either a socket and a printed circuit board or two printed boards that cannot physically be connected together due to size or design requirement. The SHF-105-01-F-D-RA in particular is designed for use with wires in the gauge range 18 to 28 AWG.

The SHF-105-01-F-D-RA is a miniature header connector with a 2.54mm molex style terminal format. It offers a dual row connection for easy wiring integration. It is encased in durable thermoplastic and complemented by tin or gold plated contacts. Each contact features tin-socked (tin-soldered) solder tabs that are very easy to use, even in high density mounting applications. The housing has an anti-vibration lock mechanism that keeps the wires firmly in place.

The SHF-105-01-F-D-RA is commonly used in automotive, communication, audio/video, and home appliance applications, but the range of potential uses is wide as there are extra features such as a strain relief mechanism and polarized contacts which make it suitable for a variety of signal and power connection needs. It\'s compact design also allows for space saving in tight spots.

The SHF-105-01-F-D-RA works by providing a physical link as well as electrical continuity between two cables, without the need for soldering. The plug contains metal electrical contacts that, when pressed together, form a complete electrical circuit. This is sometimes referred to as \'making a connection\' or \'making a connection\'. When the connection is made, electrical current can flow from one wire to the other, providing power and/or data communication. The contact terminals on the plug have a series of spring loaded terminal contacts, which make and break the connection when the plug is inserted and removed.

In conclusion, the SHF-105-01-F-D-RA rectangular connector is a highly reliable and versatile header connector. It is constructed to facilitate a secure connection between two wires without the need for soldering. The robust design ensures a secure grip on the electrical wires and it is suitable for a range of applications due to its strain relief and polarized contact features. Additionally, its small form factor makes it ideal for space saving requirements.
