Shelf connector
This type of connector fills the functional gap between shelf supports and furniture connectors.
The shelf support firmly secures the shelf in the side panel.
The shelf supports are used in cases where no additional stabilisation function is required, but a more stable connection as with usual shelf supports is desired.

Tab 15 for connecting and securing shelves | ||
 | The boss insert expands in the shelf when the support is being pushed into the boss insert (prying force up to 25 kg). The support is fixed inside the boss insert using a spring. The Tab 15 connectors for screw fixing also connect the cabinet side panel and shelf which provides increased stability of the furniture. | Support and boss insert are now firmly connected. |

 | The connector can be unlocked using a thin metal pin (Ø 1.0–1.4 mm, e.g. push pin) for easy removal of the shelf. The connector can alternatively be released by knocking without the use of tools and without causing damage. | |

Distinction is made between:
Tab 18 with tensioning element, for connecting, locking and securing shelves | ||
 | Tightening the tensioning element in the boss insert locks the shelf in position and connects the support and the boss insert firmly with each other. This prevents the installed shelves from tipping and provides good angular rigidity and excellent pull out resistance. | Support and boss insert are now firmly connected. |
Tab 18 without tensioning element, for connecting shelves | ||
 | This fitting is used in cases where shelves need to be removed quickly and used again at a different height. | |

Häfele Rafix Tab 20 S Shelf connector
 | The Rafix Tab 20 S fitting is used to install wooden and metal shelves in furniture. This connector also has an integrated safety function to prevent the shelves from tipping and lifting. The connecting bolt engages vertically and horizontally and therefore secures the shelf. Unintentional tilting and removing of the shelf, e.g. when pulling out heavy items, is therefore effectively prevented. |
Häfele Ixconnect Tab 15 T Shelf connector
 | Connector for the installation of shelves without tools. Because of the 90° rotation, the plastic sleeve expands in the 10 mm drill hole and provides a secure and permanent connection. It is therefore particularly suitable for quick and easy shelf installation. |
