Picking the right housing — the 30-position SHD receptacle
The JST SHDR-30V-S-B is the 30-circuit dual-row receptacle housing from the SHD series, built for wire-to-board connections at a tight 1.00mm pitch. The 1.00mm row spacing mirrors the contact pitch, giving a compact 2-row footprint that fits high-density harness layouts without wasting board real estate. A flat vacuum-pickup area on the housing top enables pick-and-place assembly, letting automated lines handle the housing alongside surface-mount components — a time-saver for high-volume builds that would otherwise hand-place each connector.
The listing note is clear: contacts are not included. The crimp termination style means the housing accepts pre-terminated wires, which you insert and lock into the cavity. No soldering — the wire-to-board connection is made through the mating header's pins and the crimped contact.
Mating half and fit check
Confirm the header's position count and row count match the 30-position, 2-row layout before committing the BOM line.
The SHDR-40V-S-B is the same SHD series, same 1.00mm pitch, same dual-row layout, same natural PBT housing with pick-and-place feature — but with 40 positions instead of 30. The decision is purely a circuit-count match: the 30-position SHDR-30V-S-B fits a 30-circuit BOM line; the 40-position version fits a 40-circuit line. No footprint or tooling change beyond the position count.
