Molex 53398 Series Straight Surface Mount PCB Header, 6 Contact(s), 1.25mm Pitch, 1 Row(s), Shrouded

PicoBlade PCB through hole and SMT mount header connectors with a compact design and a 1.25 mm pitch. These PicoBlade headers form part of a wire to board interconnection system that offers PCB space savings of up to 45% compared to 2.00 mm wire to board systems. The PicoBlade connector system is also able to provide the same 1 A current as similar 2.00 mm pitch connector systems. The housings of these PicoBlade headers have locking windows which engage with two latching ramps in the crimp housing to produce a friction locking mechanism. This friction lock provides a secure mating connection and prevents accidental unmating caused by mishandling or vibration. The SMT PicoBlade headers feature solder tabs that provide a secure retention on the PCB and act as a strain relief for the SMT solder tails. This feature also helps prevent solder joints form cracking due to mishandling. These 1.25 mm PicoBlade PCB and SMT headers are available in vertical and right angle mounting configurations.

• 1 A current capability in a compact 1.25 mm pitch design
• PCB space saving of up to 45% compared to 2.00 mm pitch
• Friction locking mechanism for secure mating connection
• Solder tabs for secure PCB retention (SMT versions)

The PicoBlade 1.25 mm interconnection system is designed for use in high density harness applications. Typical applications include automotive alarms systems and car audio, DVD players, industrial process controls and medical patient monitors.

Streamlined circuit design starts with this PicoBlade PCB header from Molex. It plugs seamlessly into a wire-to-board housing unit (279-9178) to make wiring a breeze. For easy setup and to maximise space, the unit has six contacts arranged in one row. As they're made from highly conductive tin-plated bronze, you can be sure of crystal-clear signals.

• Performs in demanding conditions thanks to an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C
• Fully mated component is 5.7mm high to suit slimline devices
• Ultra-light 214.7mg weight adds minimal strain on your system

• Signalling networks
• Process control
• Telecommunications systems

This unit's PicoBlade system uses two contact points to mate it firmly with its counterpart. This means the header holds fast even in vibrating connections, giving you an electrical connection you can count on.
