Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Right Angle Surface PCB Header 16 Contacts 3 mm Pitch 2 Row Shrouded 43045-1609

Molex 43045-1609 Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Right Angle Surface PCB Header is a high-performance dual-row PCB connector system designed for compact and reliable power distribution applications. Featuring a 3 mm pitch and 16 male brass contacts plated with tin, this header supports up to 5A current and operates at voltages up to 250V. Its right-angle orientation allows flexible PCB layout configurations while maintaining low profile design.

The connector housing is made from thermoplastic UL 94V-0 liquid crystal polymer, providing excellent thermal stability and flame retardance, capable of withstanding soldering temperatures up to 265°C during IR reflow processes. The shrouded design incorporates positive latching with a locking ramp, securing the mating connection to prevent accidental disconnections, vital in demanding electronic environments.

This Micro-Fit 3.0 header is surface-mount technology (SMT) compatible with solder termination and includes solder tabs to enhance mechanical stability on the PCB. Fully isolated dual beam terminals inside the housing ensure safe electrical performance by minimizing arcing risks, making these connectors reliable in low to mid power industrial applications.

Its robust specifications make the Molex 43045-1609 suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses including military COTS products, solar power systems, consumer appliances such as dryers, freezers, and refrigerators, data communication devices like routers and servers, medical equipment, telecommunications, and gaming terminals.
