Molex PCB Header, 8 Way, 1.25mm Pitch - PicoBlade Series - 53398-0871
This PCB header from Molex enhances the connectivity of your board-mounted system. Its tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts are highly conductive, increasing the efficiency of the connections. As the device supports up to eight circuits, it offers a simple way to let you control more appliances from your PCB. With a single-row design and narrow 1.25mm pitch, the unit has a minimal footprint that mounts neatly to smaller boards.
• Operates in temperatures between -40°C and +85°C for use in demanding conditions
• Solders directly to your PCB for easy installation
• Resilient nylon shroud withstands impacts to minimise the risk of damage to contacts
• Locks connectors in place, ensuring a reliable connection
Applications
• Vehicle navigation systems
• Security devices
• Telecommunications
• Measuring instruments
What does the pitch measurement mean?
The pitch measurement indicates the distance between the header's contacts. This affects the component's size and the types of connectors you can use it with.
Molex 1.25 mm PicoBlade PCB and SMT Header Connectors - 53047, 53048, 53261 and 53398 Series
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.
Features and Benefits
• 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)
Product Application Information
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.
