10021037

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Molex part number 10021037 is a vertical header connector from the SPOX 5279 series. It features a 3-position configuration with a 5.08mm (0.200 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes square pin contacts made of brass, which are tin-plated for conductivity and corrosion resistance. Designed for through-hole mounting, it employs a push-pull locking mechanism to secure mating connections. The housing is constructed from natural-colored polyamide (PA66), rated UL94 V-2 for flammability.
