Molex PicoBlade Series Straight Surface PCB Header, 8 Contact 1.25mm Pitch, 1 Row, Shrouded 53398-0871

Molex 53398-0871 PicoBlade Series provides a compact, highly reliable solution for wire-to-board connections. Featuring 8 male contacts arranged in a single straight row with a 1.25 mm pitch, this surface mount PCB header minimizes PCB footprint without compromising electrical performance. The nylon housing shroud offers robust protection to the phosphor bronze contacts plated with tin, improving durability and longevity in harsh environments.

Capable of carrying 1 ampere of current at up to 125 volts, it supports moderate electrical loads typical of various electronic devices. The solder termination with 0.6 mm tail pins facilitates stable and secure solder joints on the PCB, while the friction locking mechanism ensures connectors remain mated even under mechanical vibration or mishandling.

This header is rated for operation in the temperature range from -40°C to 105°C, making it suitable for automotive, telecommunications, security, and instrumentation systems requiring compact, reliable interconnects. Its design supports easy integration on compact circuit boards where space conservation is critical.

The 1.25 mm pitch reduces PCB space usage compared to larger pitch connectors. Shrouded nylon housing protects contacts from mechanical damage. Phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating ensure excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Supports a maximum current of 1 A and voltage rating of 125 V. Surface mount design with solder tail pin length of 0.6 mm for ease of mounting. Operates reliably in temperature ranges from -40°C to 105°C. Single row, straight orientation simplifies board layout and wiring.

Friction locking mechanism enhances connector retention and vibration resistance. Ideal for applications in telecommunications, vehicle navigation, security, and measuring instruments.
