1202050001

Overview

The Molex 1202050001 is a 4-position, 2.54 mm pitch, right-angle through-hole header with a 3.96 mm mating height and a 1.27 mm contact spacing. It features a black polyamide housing with UL 94V-0 flammability rating and tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated for 3A current at 85°C. The connector supports a maximum voltage of 300V AC/DC and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle PCB mounting design for space-efficient board layouts
• High-temperature resistant polyamide housing material
• Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity

Applications

• General purpose electronic interconnects
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Molex documentation to ensure correct housing color, plating thickness, and packaging configuration. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required pin count and orientation specifications for your assembly. Always cross-reference the latest datasheet to validate compliance with RoHS directives and other regulatory standards applicable to your region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle connection is required for 4-wire circuits. Ensure the PCB footprint matches the 2.54 mm pitch and verify that the 3.96 mm mating height accommodates the mechanical constraints of the enclosure. Consider the 3A current rating and 300V voltage limit during circuit design to maintain safety margins under operational loads.

Part Context

This header belongs to the Molex KK 254 series, a widely used family of wire-to-board connectors known for their compact size and reliability. The series offers various configurations including straight and right-angle options with different pin counts. This specific model provides a robust solution for connecting wires to printed circuit boards in dense electronic environments.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the Molex 1202050000 (straight version) or other KK 254 series headers with identical pitch and contact count. Verify mechanical compatibility before substitution, as housing dimensions and locking mechanisms may vary between different series within the same manufacturer's portfolio.
