Molex Picoflex Ribbon-Cable Connectors
Molex Picoflex Ribbon-Cable Connectors provide high power and signal in a space-saving, robust, and reliable package for a diverse range of wire-to-board applications. These connectors are ideal for applications when flat-flexible connectors are not appropriate, such as solar, weighing systems, vehicle infotainment, computer peripherals, telecommunications, and portable heart monitors. Available in circuit sizes from 4 to 26, the Molex Picoflex Ribbon-Cable Connectors mate with 1.27mm (.050") cable - a worldwide industry standard and feature a mated height of 6.40mm (.252") for vertical-mating configurations. Molex Picoflex Ribbon-Cable Connectors have been expanded to include 1.27mm reverse footprint vertical SMT headers.
Features
- High-profile polarizing peg prevents mismating of the header and receptacle
- High-temperature housing materials compatible with RoHS lead-free reflow soldering processes up to +260°C
- Tin (Sn) or palladium nickel (PdNi) + gold (Au) flash-plated contacts
- Reverse PCB footprint SMT headers provide second source on existing BOMs without need for PCB redesign
