C-Grid III Dual Row Vertical P.C. Board Connector – Datasheet

Category: Connectors, Electronics, Molex

Overview

This datasheet discusses the C-Grid III Dual Row Vertical P.C. Board Connector, a connector series designed and manufactured by Molex Electronic Technologies, LLC. It features various plating versions and is compatible with a recommended printed circuit (P.C.) board hole pattern. The document is classified as a product customer drawing with proprietary information that requires written permission for usage.

Key Specifications

The connector series includes multiple products differentiated by the number of circuits (indicated by the placeholder XX in the product number 90151-XX). The body of the connectors is made of glass-filled polyester with a black color. It espouses compatibility with PCB hole patterns. Dimensions mentioned in the datasheet are in millimeters and the drawing adheres to general market tolerances unless specified otherwise.

Recommended Design

Recommendations for board design include a PCB hole pattern and a board thickness between 1.20 and 1.70 mm. For male pins of a 0.635 mm square cross-section, the length ranges between 5.65 mm minimum and 7.00 mm maximum to ensure a reliable connection.

Plating Versions

There are several plating options for the connectors:

Version A – Pre-plated hot dip tin ranging from 1.0 to 2.5 um.
Version E – Nickel overall with gold on contact area and tin on solder tails.
Version F – Similar to E with variations in gold and tin thicknesses.
Version G – Nickel overall with a minimum gold flash on contact area and tin on solder tails.
Version N – Nickel overall with the greatest range of gold thickness on contact area among the versions mentioned.

The plating versions cater to varying requirements for contact durability and conductivity.

Product Identification and Release Information

The drawing carries the document number SDA-90151 and belongs to the general market sector. The initial release date of this document is April 12, 2019. It contains proprietary information which should not be used without the appropriate permissions.
