Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header 5 Contact 3 mm Pitch 1 Row Shrouded 43650-0516

Molex 43650-0516 Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header is a high-quality shrouded, single-row PCB connector with a 3 mm pitch and 5 contacts designed for wire-to-board applications.

It delivers dependable electrical performance with a maximum current capacity of 5A and a voltage rating of 250V, making it ideal for low to mid power electronic systems.

The header features a thermoplastic housing that complies with high-temperature IR reflow soldering processes, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 265°C. This ensures durability and reliability during manufacturing and service life.

Positive latching via a locking ramp on the housing secures connections and prevents accidental disconnections, essential for industrial and commercial electronics. Key mechanical enhancements include PCB polarizing pegs for precise alignment during assembly and kinked solder legs for improved PCB retention strength, enhancing robustness.

The contacts are crafted from brass with gold plating to provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring consistent performance over time. This through-hole mounting header is also SMT compatible, enabling flexible assembly methods for cost and process optimization.

Typical application areas include military COTS equipment, solar power systems, consumer appliances like dryers and refrigerators, data communications infrastructure such as routers and servers, medical devices, telecommunications, and gaming terminals.
