Molex PicoBlade Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header, 2 Contact(s), 1.25 mm Pitch, 1 Row, Shrouded

Use this straight header connector from Molex for two-way wire-to-board connections. It features a through-hole mounting design for ease of installation and a Compact 1.25mm pitch for connections in tight spaces. It's optimised for use with Molex's PicoBlade series of products that can help save up to 45% space on crowded PCBs (printed circuit boards) compared to similar systems. For added security, a friction-locking mechanism engages two latching ramps to create a Durable connection and prevent accidental unmating caused by heavy vibrations or mishandling.

• Contacts MADE of tin-plated phosphor bronze for conductivity and resistance to corrosion

• Automotive alarm systems

This header uses a solder termination method, so you can create a strong, air-tight join for long-lasting performance.

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

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.
