22232023

Headers, Male Pins Overview

Molex part number 22232023 is a vertical pin header connector from the KK254 series (6373). It features a 2.54mm pitch and contains 2 positions in a single row. The connector utilizes male pins with square contact shapes, designed for through-hole termination via soldering. The housing is constructed from white polyamide (PA/nylon) with a UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Tin plating is applied to both mating and terminal interfaces at a thickness of 60.0µin (1.52µm). The contacts are made of brass. Key dimensions include an insulation height of 0.322 inches (8.18mm), a mating contact length of 0.260 inches (6.60mm), and a total contact length of 0.530 inches (13.46mm).

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Vertical board-to-board or cable mounting configuration with shrouded design for one-wall shielding.
• Friction lock fastening type ensures secure connection between mating parts.
• Through-hole solder termination provides reliable PCB attachment.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Automotive systems
• General purpose electronics
• Medical equipment
• Telecommunications infrastructure

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact Molex part number against official distributor catalogs to ensure compatibility with specific assembly requirements. Confirm that the tin plating specifications meet corrosion resistance needs for the intended environment. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a concern for the target market. Ensure the through-hole footprint on the PCB matches the specified pin spacing and overall dimensions to prevent assembly errors.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, vertical interconnect solution is required for general applications. The 2.54mm pitch is standard for prototyping and general wiring. Consider the single-row, two-position layout for simple signal or power routing. The polyamide housing offers good mechanical stability. Evaluate the need for shrouding to prevent misalignment during mating. This connector is suitable for environments where extreme high temperatures are not a primary factor.
