Picoflex SMT Latched Header

Molex Introduces the Pitch Picoflex SMT Latched Header at DigiKey

image of Molex Picoflex SMT Latched HeaderMolex has introduced the Picoflex SMT Header with positive retention latches to provide a robust and reliable wire-to-board connection with increased retention force for rugged applications and high-vibration environments. Adding to Molex’s already extensive range of Picoflex connectors, which are suitable for many high-density applications where space is at a premium and power and signal are required, these more rugged versions are suited to a variety of demanding applications for the industrial, automotive, medical and multimedia industries. The Picoflex latch design increases the retention force between the header and receptacle by at least 50% compared to Molex’s standard friction-lock header.

Features
  • Standard interface design, making the Molex Picoflex fully backward compatible.
  • High-profile polarizing peg, which avoids mismating of the header and receptacle.
  • Polyphthalamide (PPA) housing material enables toleration temperatures of up to +260°C.
  • Optional gold plating, as opposed to the standard tin plating, for easier mating.
