Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header, 2 Contact(s), 3.0mm Pitch, 2 Row(s), Shrouded

Micro-Fit 3.0 3mm pitch wire to board dual row PCB headers which form part of a compact power connector system providing a low to mid-range power distribution solution. With the ability to carry up to 5A of current, Micro-Fit 3.0 connectors have one of the highest current carrying abilities in the smallest footprints available. These Micro-Fit 3.0 PCB headers incorporate positive latching in the form of a locking ramp on the housing for secure mating and to prevent accidental disconnection. The housings are made of high-temperature UL 94V-0 Liquid Crystal Polymer that can withstand temperatures of up to 265°C during the IR reflow soldering process. The through hole mounting versions of these Micro-Fit 3.0 headers are also SMT compatible which means a reduction in process requirements and costs. To help position and align these Micro-Fit 3.0 headers to the PCB board, PCB polarising pegs are incorporated into the connector design. part numbers ending in xx12, xx13 and xx14 also feature kinked solder legs for additional PCB retention. The contacts of these Micro-Fit 3.0 headers are fully isolated within the housings to reduce arcing. Tin or a choice of two thicknesses of gold contact platings are available to keep down costs.

• High current carrying capacity in a small footprint
• High temperature housings for IR reflow soldering
• Through hole versions SMT compatible
• Positive latching for secure mating connection
• Fully isolated dual beam terminals for reliable electrical performance and contact
• PCB polarising pegs for alignment and positioning on PCB

These Micro-Fit 3.0 header connectors are suitable for use in a wide range of low to mid power applications including the following:
Military COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf)
Solar power
Consumer products (dryers, freezers, fridges, washing machines)
Data communications (routers, servers)
Medical
Telecommunications
Gaming terminals

This printed circuit board (PCB) header from Molex lets you make two power connections to a PCB using just one terminal block. It's suitable for low-range to mid-range power distribution applications and features a high current carrying capacity of 5A. The housing's positive latching system ensures that mated parts are securely connected. It also helps to prevent accidental mating of mismatched parts for improved safety. Polarising pegs help you to align and position the housing for easier mounting and assembly.

• Fully isolated terminals for protection against damage during handling and installation
• High insulation resistance of 10,000 megaohms to protect operators from electric shocks
• Needs less engagement and disengagement force to reduce the risk of damaging connections
• Extensive operating temperature range of -40°C to +260°C so compatible with extreme industrial environments

• Industrial manufacturing
• Food and beverage industry
• Automated assembly lines

Yes, thanks to kinked solder legs that ensure the component is firmly attached to the printed circuit board, it's able to withstand vibration .
