Molex adds latched picoflex header to
its Picoflex IDT connector family
Molex Incorporated has added Latched Picoflex Header to
its Picoflex IDT connector system family suitable for high-density
applications.
Molex says Picoflex connector system comprises PCB headers,
cable connectors and standard ribbon cable assemblies and
features a reliable terminal design, locking and cable strain
relief for a secure electrical connection in the industrial,
automotive, medical and multimedia industrial applications.
The Picoflex family provides designers SMT and Surface Mount
Compatible PCB headers in high-temperature Nylon and Polyphthalamide.
All seven-header options are polarized both to the PCB and
to the female connector. The staggered solder tails with
1.27mm pitch have 2.54mm distance between both solder tail
rows; significantly reducing the risk of solder bridging
explains Molex.
The cable entry window on the IDT connectors has a scalloped
profile, ensuring precise positioning of 1.27mm 26 to 28
AWG standard ribbon cable. Four contact points per circuit
and the integral strain relief help ensure a reliable electrical
contact in applications with high vibration and intense
shock requirements as per Molex.
Picoflex connector available in lengths from 6 to 120cm
supplies four different styles of standard cable assembly
options. The first option features two 90327 connectors
in C-style, the second in Z-style, the third featuring one
90327 connector and one 90584 board-in connector in Z-style,
and the last featuring one 90327 receptacle and one 90584
board-in connector in C-style also offers a full range of
non-standard options, including shorter cable lengths.
