Molex Milli-Grid Series Shrouded Straight Through Hole PCB Header 12 Contacts 2 mm Pitch 2 Row 125V 2A 87831-1220

Molex 87831-1220 is a shrouded straight through hole PCB header from the Milli-Grid Series featuring 12 male contacts arranged in 2 rows with a 2 mm pitch. It supports a current rating of 2A and operates up to 125V. The connector system is designed for wire-to-board applications providing high density and reliable connections.

The 2.00 x 2.00 mm grid pattern enables flexible PCB design options. The shrouded housing protects contacts from mechanical damage and ensures robust mating. A center polarization slot together with locking windows provides secure mating and prevents incorrect connections. Kinked solder tails enhance retention on the PCB during soldering. Locating pegs aid automated insertion processes improving assembly efficiency.

Contacts are made of phosphor bronze and plated with gold to guarantee low resistance and durability even under challenging environments with temperatures from -55°C up to 105°C. This PCB header is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and automotive electronics such as printers, fax machines, servers, routers, automotive audio and GPS, security alarms, set-top boxes, and digital media players.

The Milli-Grid connector system supports board-to-board and cable-to-board interconnections with a wide selection of shrouded/unshrouded headers, receptacles, housings, and terminals.

High density 2 mm pitch grid design for compact PCB layouts. Shrouded design protects and aligns contacts reliably. Center polarization prevents mismating with receptacles. Locking windows secure mechanical retention and durability.

Kinked solder tails for reliable PCB mounting during reflow soldering. Automatic insertion locators for efficient manufacturing processes. Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +105°C. Typical use cases include communications, automotive, security, and multimedia devices.
