2140940080

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Molex 2140940080 is a OneBlape shrouded header featuring an 8-position single-row configuration with a 1.00mm pitch. It utilizes surface mount termination for vertical top entry installation on printed circuit boards. The connector employs friction lock fastening to secure mating cables and uses tin-plated contacts. Designed for compact electronic assemblies, it supports signal transmission in space-constrained applications requiring reliable board-to-wire interconnections.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific packaging type matches project requirements, as tape and reel configurations vary by quantity. Confirm that the tin plating specification aligns with environmental exposure conditions. Ensure the friction lock force meets mechanical stress expectations for the target application environment during procurement validation.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.00mm pitch is required for high-density routing. The shrouded header design prevents misalignment during mating. Consider the vertical profile constraints of the enclosure. Evaluate if the friction lock mechanism suffices for vibration environments or if positive locking variants are necessary for enhanced security.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the OneBlape series, characterized by its ultra-compact 1.00mm pitch designed for modern miniaturized electronics. The series emphasizes reduced footprint while maintaining reliable electrical performance. It serves as a standard interconnect solution for consumer and industrial devices requiring dense board-to-wire connectivity.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible headers within the same OneBlape family for identical pitch and contact count. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same shrouded configuration and surface mount termination style to ensure mechanical compatibility.
