Molex 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.
