Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header, 6 Contact(s), 3 mm Pitch, 2 Row, Shrouded

This right-angle printed circuit board header from Molex is a wire-to-board solder electrical connector that lets you make multiple connections using a single block. The unit has a standard 3mm pitch and carries up to 5A of current for low-range to mid-range power distribution. Positive latching via a locking ramp on the housing ensures secure mating and prevents accidental disconnection. Fully-isolated contacts reduce arcing, so you don't have to worry about the risk of electric shocks or fire.

• Glow wire compliance ensures safety related to risks like over-currents or short circuits

• Medical devices

When a PCB header is shrouded like this one, it means it's encased in a plastic housing. This casing makes the product robust as it protects the internal contacts. It also provides insulation against short-circuits that can cause component damage.

Micro-Fit 3.0 3mm pitch wire to board dual row PCB headers which form part of a compact power connector system providing a low to mid-range power distribution solution. With the ability to carry up to 5A of current, Micro-Fit 3.0 connectors have one of the highest current carrying abilities in the smallest footprints available. These Micro-Fit 3.0 PCB headers incorporate positive latching in the form of a locking ramp on the housing for secure mating and to prevent accidental disconnection. The housings are made of high-temperature UL 94V-0 Liquid Crystal Polymer that can withstand temperatures of up to 265°C during the IR reflow soldering process. The through hole mounting versions of these Micro-Fit 3.0 headers are also SMT compatible which means a reduction in process requirements and costs. To secure these Micro-Fit 3.0 headers to the PCB board, snap-in plastic peg PCB locks are incorporated into the connector design. The contacts of these Micro-Fit 3.0 headers are fully isolated within the housings to reduce arcing. Tin or a choice of two thicknesses of gold contact platings are available to keep down costs

• High current carrying capacity in a small footprint

These Micro-Fit 3.0 header connectors are suitable for use in a wide range of low to mid power applications including the following:
