Molex PicoBlade Series Right Angle Surface PCB Header, 2 Contact(s), 1.25 mm Pitch, 1 Row, Shrouded

Molex PicoBlade Right-Angle PCB Header, 2 Way, 1 Row - 53621 Series - 53261-0271

Use this right-angle PCB (printed circuit board) header from Molex to securely connect two wires to a PCB. The right-angle design makes it easier to fit into tight or awkward spaces than a straight alternative. Its housing is made of a high-temperature thermoplastic material that's resistant to wear and heat, allowing it to withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C. The tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts are highly durable and corrosion-resistant, so they'll last a long time even when used in harsh industrial environments.

Features & Benefits

• Highly compact pitch of 1.25mm to take up minimal space on a PCB
• Friction lock mechanism ensures a firm, secure hold that won't come loose in the event of vibrations or shock
• Shrouded housing protects the contacts from damage and reduces electrical interference
• Solder tabs for strain relief and secure PCB retention

Applications

• Automotive alarm systems
• DVD players
• Industrial process controls
• Medical equipment

Can I use this header for high-powered applications?

This header is designed for low-power applications as it can withstand a maximum voltage of 125V and a maximum current of 1A per contact.

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)
