The JST SHR-05V-S-B is a 5-position receptacle housing from the SH series, a compact wire-to-board interconnect family built around a 1.00 mm pitch. The 1.00 mm pitch keeps the board footprint small, but it also means the mating header and crimp terminals must be sourced from the same SH series to maintain alignment. This part is the receptacle half; it mates with the corresponding SH series pin header (sold separately).
The One Spec That Trips Up Buyers
The listing explicitly notes "Contacts Not Included" — this is not a finished connector; it is an empty housing that requires the JST SH series crimp terminals (female socket contacts) to be ordered separately and crimped onto the wire ends. A common mistake is to order only the housing and then stop, leaving the harness without terminals. The housing accepts the standard SH crimp terminal, which handles 20–28 AWG wire (typical for signal-level current up to 1 A per circuit, though the SH series is primarily a signal interconnect).
