Molex SlimStack Series Straight Surface PCB Header 80 Contact 0.5 mm Pitch 2 Row Shrouded 53916-0808

Molex 53916-0808 SlimStack Series Straight Surface PCB Header is a high-density, shrouded board-to-board connector with 80 gold-plated brass contacts arranged in 2 rows at a 0.5 mm pitch. It is designed for surface mounting on printed circuit boards and features a robust metal friction lock mechanism to ensure secure mating and resistance to shock and vibration.

This connector supports a continuous current of 500 mA and operates safely up to 50 volts, making it ideal for low-power electronic assemblies. The operational temperature range from -40°C to 105°C allows use in various industrial and commercial environments, including portable devices subject to demanding mechanical stresses.

The SlimStack family offers stacking connector solutions with various stacking heights; this particular 53916-0808 connector suits 4.0 mm stacking heights. Gold plating on the brass contacts ensures high reliability and corrosion resistance, improving the long-term connectivity performance.

The shrouded male contact design enhances mechanical protection and prevents damage during handling and installation. SlimStack connectors are widely employed in electronics manufacturing, telecommunications equipment, instrumentation, and embedded system boards where space optimization and high-density interconnects are critical.

Surface mount technology (SMT) facilitates easy PCB assembly and soldering. Secure retention lock provides vibration resistance suitable for portable applications. Gold-plated brass contacts guarantee signal integrity and corrosion resistance.

Two-row, 80-contact arrangement allows for dense packaging and flexible board-to-board connections. Robust operating temperature and voltage specifications support diverse use cases from commercial to industrial electronics.
