MOLEX Dual Row Straight Pin Header Datasheet

Category: Connectors, Electronics, Molex

Product Overview

The datasheet provides detailed information about the MOLEX Dual Row Straight Pin Header, a component used in printed circuit board (PCB) applications. The pin header is made up of 0.65 square brass pins with a plating as per the included specification sheets. The data listed on the first two pages include various dimensions and tolerances for the pins and associated features.

Material Specifications

The wafer material comprises 5% glass-filled polyester which adheres to UL 94V-0 standards, indicating its flame-retardant properties. The color of the wafer is black. The pins are brass with a plating described in detail on a different sheet within the datasheet. This plating likely includes gold, as suggested by the mention of the “extent of gold plate.”

Mechanical and Dimensional Details

Dimensions for the pin headers are detailed in a tabulated format that includes both metric and imperial units. These dimensions account for various aspects such as diameter, length, and spacing of the pins. It also includes a recommended PCB hole pattern for mounting the pin header.

Drawing and Revision Information

The datasheet contains a technical drawing labeled SD-90131-001 indicating the visual design and layout of the pin header. The current revision of the document mentioned in the datasheet is titled “th_frame_AJ_P_AM_T” with the latest revision date being February 24, 2012. The drawing specifies that the units are in millimeters unless otherwise noted and that the scale is not to size (NTS).

Additional References

Further details such as plating and precise dimensions are available on subsequent sheets (Sht 2 for plating details, and Sht 3-8 for dimensions) which are not included in the provided content. The datasheet recommends a PCB thickness of 1.5mm for optimal compatibility with the pin header.

Proprietary Information Notice

This document includes proprietary information from MOLEX Incorporated and is not to be used without written permission from the company.

General Tolerances and Quality Control

The dimensions displayed are subject to general tolerances and design styles, which are standardized as per MOLEX’s quality control protocols. These are crucial for ensuring the pin header’s fit and function within electronic applications.

Important Notes

Note 1 instructs readers to refer to sheet 2 for plating details. Note 2 directs to sheets 3-8 for expanded dimensions and detailed drawings, while the third note underscores the recommended PCB thickness.
