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.

Make multiple connections to a single printed circuit board (PCB) with this straight header from Molex. This unit has three contacts, allowing you to connect three circuits to the board. This means that you can transmit both data and power signals using the same header. Phosphor bronze contact pins ensure a stable connection, while tin plating makes them resistant to rust for long-term use. A current rating of 1A and a voltage rating of 125V make this component an energy-efficient connector for your electronic appliances.

• Light weight of 0.7g so it's easy to handle and won't strain your equipment
• Fully shrouded for insulation to protect you from electric shocks
• Flame-resistant option that stops burning within 10 seconds when a fire occurs

• Automotive alarm systems
• DVD players
• Industrial process control

This PCB header has a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This means you can rely on it to work safely in demanding industrial and commercial environments.
