Molex Picoflex 1.27mm Headers and Connectors

Molex Picoflex 1.27mm Headers and Connectors

Molex Picoflex® 1.27mm Headers and Connectors provide high power and signal in a space-saving, robust and reliable package for a diverse range of wire-to-board applications when flat-flexible connectors are not appropriate. Available in circuit sizes from 4 to 26, the Molex Picoflex Connectors mate with 1.27mm (.050") cable - a worldwide industry standard

Featuring a mated height of 6.40mm (.252") for vertical-mating configurations, Picoflex connectors are approximately 15% smaller than traditional 1.27mm connector systems. The high-reliability contact features a four-point interface with the cable and two points of contact between the header and receptacle. A strong one-piece upper housing provides excellent cable retention. Picoflex also offers excellent polarization to both the PCB and between the female connector and header. Plating options available include Tin, Gold or Palladium Nickel with Gold flash.
