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.

Securely connect two wires to a PCB (printed circuit board) with this Molex header. The tough nylon housing is resistant to chemicals and wear, so it can withstand use in demanding industrial environments. Its phosphor-bronze contacts are highly conductive for a reliable connection, and tin plating ensures resistance to corrosion for long-lasting performance. Solder this header in place for an extra firm, vibration-resistant connection to your PCB.

• Compact 1.25mm pitch takes up minimal amounts of space on a PCB
• Dual pins allow for data and power transmission to pass on the same header
• Broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for use in demanding environments
• Friction lock mechanism ensures the header is securely held in place
• Solder tabs act as a strain relief and ensure secure PCB retention

• Electric test equipment
• Security systems
• Smart meters
• Combination switches

This PCB header's shrouded design means it protects the contacts from damage and reduces electrical interference. This ensures more reliable transmission in busy environments.
