Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Surface PCB Header 5 Contact 3 mm Pitch 1 Row Shrouded 43650-0525

The Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Surface PCB Header, model 43650-0525, is a high-performance connector designed for wire-to-board applications requiring reliable power distribution. This connector features 5 contacts arranged in a single row with a 3 mm pitch, providing a compact footprint for efficient PCB layout.

The housing is constructed from a high temperature UL 94V-0 liquid crystal polymer thermoplastic, allowing it to withstand temperatures up to 265°C during IR reflow soldering processes. The connector system is shrouded and includes positive latching mechanisms through a locking ramp to ensure secure mating and prevent accidental disconnections during operation.

The contacts are manufactured from brass and plated with gold to provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The connector is rated for a maximum current of 5 amperes and operates safely at voltages up to 250 volts. It supports a broad operating temperature range from -40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial environments.

The inclusion of solder tabs enhances the mechanical stability of the connector on the PCB and improves electrical integrity through secure solder joints. The fully isolated dual beam terminal design minimizes electrical arcing and ensures consistent contact performance over time.

These Micro-Fit 3.0 connectors are widely used in applications such as military commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems, solar power installations, consumer appliances like dryers and refrigerators, data communication equipment including routers and servers, medical devices, telecommunications hardware, and gaming terminals, offering a versatile solution for low to mid power electronic interconnections.
