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.

To hook up multiple connections in one go, pick this PCB header from Molex. Thanks to its eight contacts, you can connect peripheral devices and other boards, making this component a real workhorse. Simply attach it directly to your board using through-hole mounting, and you're ready to make wire-to-board links, with no time wasted. The header has a pitch of just 1.25mm, allowing you to fit a lot of connections on even a small PCB.

• Pins are shrouded for secure and reliable connections
• Friction-locking ensures correct mating
• 1A maximum current for low-power applications
• Operates reliably in a temperature range between -40°C and +85°C

• Alarm systems
• DIY electronics
• Industrial control equipment

They're made from phosphor bronze and are tin-plated, so you can rest assured they're highly resistant to fatigue and corrosion.
