What is the difference between SHR-( )V-S and SHR-( )V-S-B?

In the subject part numbers, replace the ( ) with the applicable number of circuits.

The difference is protrusions on the sides of the housings to make handling them easier. The SHR-( )V-S is without the protrusions and SHR-( )V-S-B is with the protrusions. Please see the image below for more details.

What is the difference between SXH-001T-0.6 and SXH-001T-P0.6?

The difference is the base material.

SXH-001T-0.6 is made of Brass

SXH-001T-P0.6 is made of Phosphor Bronze (standard)

Phosphor Bronze contact retain their shape better than Brass contacts.

WC-240

Will the WC-240 hand tool work with SPHD-002T-P0.5 as well as SPH-002T-P0.5S?

No. The subject hand tool will not work with SPHD-002T-P0.5.

What is the difference between S( )B-XH-A and S( )B-XH-A-1?

In the part number, replace ( ) with the applicable number of circuits / positions.

The difference is the solder tail extension from the back edge of the header wall. Please refer to following diagram from the web site data sheet.

What is a "boss"?

Used on surface mount, through-hole headers and board-in connectors, a "boss" is a peg on the bottom of a header that helps polarize and situate the product onto the PCB.

For polarization, the boss allows the user to orient the product onto the PCB in only one direction. They are also used to help steady surface mount headers before subjecting them to IR reflow.

An extra hole is required to be drilled /punched into the PCB when incorporating items with bosses though the boss typically will not penetrate completely through the PCB like a through-hole solder tail would.
