Molex PicoBlade Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header, 5 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.

Establish secure connections between your wires and PCBs with this header from Molex. To use this component, you solder it directly onto the circuit board where it links with connectors to provide power and data signal transmission. Its phosphor bronze contacts are highly conductive to ensure a reliable connection, while tin plating protects them from rust for long-term performance. This header is fully shrouded to provide protection from impact. Its friction lock offers a secure hold so there's no risk of it falling off the PCB after mating.

• Pitch of 1.25mm provides necessary spacing to prevent contacts from accidentally touching each other
• Voltage rating of 125V suitable for low-voltage applications
• Broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for use in demanding environments
• Light weight of 0.1g so it's easy to handle

• Mobile phones
• Digital cameras
• Bluray and DVD players

When a fire occurs, this header stops burning within 10 seconds. This makes it a flame-resistant choice that can help reduce the spread of flames.
