Molex PicoBlade Series Straight Surface PCB Header, 14 Contacts, 1.25 mm Pitch, 1 Row, Shrouded 53398-1471

Molex 53398-1471 PicoBlade Series Straight Surface PCB Header provides a compact, reliable wire-to-board connection solution with 14 contacts arranged in a single row and a 1.25 mm pitch spacing. This shrouded header is designed for surface mounting on PCBs and supports a 1 A current capacity at 125 V, making it an efficient choice for industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer electronic applications.

The connector housing is made from high-quality nylon material, ensuring durability and electrical insulation. Contacts are fabricated from phosphor bronze and plated with tin to prevent corrosion and maintain excellent conductivity. The friction locking mechanism employs locking windows that engage with latching ramps to prevent accidental disconnection, enhancing connection stability during vibration or mishandling.

Solder tabs on the SMT version offer secure retention on the PCB and act as strain relief for solder tails, reducing solder joint cracking risks. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C supports varied environmental conditions, including automotive alarms, car audio systems, industrial process controls, and medical patient monitoring devices.

Compact 1.25 mm pitch enables significant PCB space savings up to 45% compared to larger pitch connectors. Designed for wire-to-board interconnection systems with secure locking features. Phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating ensure reliable electrical performance.

Shrouded connector design provides protection to contacts and aids in proper mating. Suitable for surface mount technology PCB assembly. Supports current capacity of up to 1 A at 125 V. Durable nylon housing withstands harsh industrial environments.

Temperature rating from -40°C to 105°C for extended application range. Ideal for automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer electronics markets. Packaging typically supplied on reel for ease of manufacturing integration.
