MOLEX Dual-Grid Right Angle Header

Category: Connectors, Electronics, Molex

Overview

This MOLEX datasheet details a dual-grid right angle header. The datasheet contains technical drawings, material specifications, and other pertinent data for users and manufacturers. The information provided within the datasheet is considered proprietary to MOLEX Incorporated and is not to be used without written permission.

Product Specifications

The header is constructed from glass-filled polyester which adheres to the UL 94V-0 standard, with a black color finish. Pins are made of brass wire and are plated as described in supplementary sheets. The datasheet outlines the extent of the gold plate coverage on the pins but does not include these details directly within the first two pages.

Dimensions and Tolerances

Dimensions follow a metric-only system with general tolerances applicable, as specified on the datasheet. Both the dimensions ‘A’ and ‘B’ as well as the circuit (ckt) dimensions for various configurations—ranging from 2×2 to 2×40—are provided, presumably in millimeters, though the units are not clearly stated. Notably, notes regarding the ‘DIM A’ and ‘DIM B’ as well as finish options and dimensions ‘C’ and ‘D’ are referred to additional sheets, not included in the provided content.

The recommended Printed Circuit Board (PCB) thickness for the use of this header is specified at 1.6mm. Alongside, a recommended PCB hole pattern is also indicated, likely to guide users for accurate placement and soldering of the headers on their circuit boards.

Quality and Design Information

The design reference adheres to the third angle projection standard and uses specific symbols and style scales, with a document number SDA-90122 for this particular MOLEX component. The drawing was initially completed on July 16, 1987, according to the provided dates, and underwent a revision denoted as ‘Rev. E’ on April 25, 2006. This timeline suggests a longstanding product that has seen updates over time, although the details of these revisions are not fully disclosed in the analyzed content.

Important Notes

It is explicitly noted that the datasheet contains a product specification indicated by PS-99020-0001. There are also references to assembly numbers and plating details, implying that further customization or variants of the product may exist. These notes underscore the depth of information that would typically be further elaborated upon in subsequent pages of the datasheet.
