Molex PicoBlade Series Straight Surface PCB Header, 5 Contacts, 1.25 mm Pitch, 1 Row, Shrouded 53398-0571

Molex 53398-0571 PicoBlade Series Straight Surface PCB Header is a highly reliable wire-to-board connector designed for compact spaces where PCB real estate is limited. Featuring 5 male contacts arranged in a single row with a 1.25 mm pitch, this shrouded connector provides enhanced mechanical and electrical protection by encasing the pins within a durable nylon housing.

This PCB header uses a solder termination method, enabling secure soldering and offering strain relief to reduce solder tail damage during operation or handling. Its friction-locking mechanism adds a layer of reliability by preventing accidental unmating, making it suitable for demanding industrial and electronic applications.

The connector's phosphor bronze contacts deliver excellent conductivity and resist fatigue, ensuring a long service life in various conditions, including automotive electronics, consumer devices such as DVD players, and medical monitoring equipment. The operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C allows for stable performance even under harsh temperature variations.

The PicoBlade series layout is optimized to use minimal board space, saving up to 45% compared to conventional 2 mm connectors, which is critical in high-density PCB designs. The surface mounting type enables ease of assembly and integration with automated manufacturing processes.

Compact 1.25 mm pitch spacing reduces PCB area usage significantly. Shrouded design protects male contacts and prevents short circuits. Phosphor bronze material offers both high conductivity and mechanical durability. Solder termination ensures strong electrical and mechanical connection.

Friction-locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnections. Wide operating temperature range from -40°C up to +105°C. Designed for industrial, automotive and medical electronics applications. Reliable 1 amp current rating and 125 volts maximum voltage.

The product is an ideal choice for engineers and manufacturers seeking a robust, space-saving PCB Header connector for high-density wiring harnesses and circuit board assemblies. Explore more precision electronic components and connectors within the EnvMart catalog.
