Molex PicoBlade Series Straight Surface PCB Header, 11 Contacts, 1.25 mm Pitch, 1 Row, Shrouded 53398-1171

Molex 53398-1171 PicoBlade Series Straight Surface PCB Header is a precision wire-to-board connector featuring 11 contacts arranged in a single row with a 1.25 mm pitch. It is designed with a shrouded nylon housing to enhance the security of the mating connection and prevent accidental disconnections caused by vibration or mishandling.

The header is rated for a maximum current of 1 A and can withstand operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 105°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and automotive environments. The straight orientation and surface mount design enable facile installation on printed circuit boards with reliable mechanical and electrical performance. Contacts are made of phosphor bronze and plated with tin to resist corrosion and ensure low contact resistance.

This component incorporates solder tabs which provide strain relief for SMT solder tails, reducing the risk of joint cracking and ensuring long-term reliability. The compact 1.25 mm pitch design offers significant PCB space savings of up to 45% compared to conventional 2.00 mm pitch connectors, optimizing board layout density.

Applications typically include automotive alarm systems, car audio electronics, DVD players, industrial process controls, and medical patient monitoring equipment, where high-density, reliable, and secure wire-to-board connections are critical.

Compact 1.25 mm pitch design for efficient PCB space utilization. 1 A current rating compatible with similar 2.00 mm pitch systems. Nylon housing with locking windows for friction-based secure mating. Surface mount type with solder tabs enhances retention and strain relief.

High quality phosphor bronze contacts plated with tin. Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C suitable for industrial use. Single row with 11 male contacts ensuring precise interconnection. Wire-to-board connector for use in a variety of electronic assemblies.

This Molex PCB Header is new and manufactured with exacting standards to ensure durable and reliable electrical connectivity in industrial, automotive, and medical electronic applications. Browse additional Molex PCB connectors and headers on EnvMart for compatible interconnection solutions.
