534269030

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Molex 53426-9030 is a Mini-Lock PCB header connector designed for wire-to-board applications. It features a 2.50mm pitch, single row configuration with three contacts. The connector utilizes through-hole mounting with right-angle orientation and kinked pins for secure board retention. Tin plating is applied to the contact surfaces to ensure reliable electrical performance. The insulator is white, and the design incorporates a positive locking mechanism to prevent accidental disengagement during operation.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Positive locking mechanism ensures secure connection integrity
• Kinked pins provide enhanced mechanical stability on the PCB
• Right-angle orientation facilitates compact circuit board layout

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Wire-to-board interconnections in industrial equipment
• Consumer electronics assembly requiring secure headers
• General purpose PCB connections in automotive systems

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the required part number matches the specific suffix 53426-9030 to ensure correct pin count and orientation. Confirm that the application environment supports tin-plated contacts. Check that the PCB footprint aligns with the 2.50mm pitch and right-angle through-hole specifications provided in the official datasheet before ordering.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle header is required for 2.50mm pitch systems. The Mini-Lock series offers robust retention compared to standard headers. Ensure the mating receptacle is compatible with the male pin configuration. Consider the tin plating for general use rather than high-corrosion environments where gold plating might be necessary.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Molex Mini-Lock 2.5 family, a widely used industry-standard connector system. The series is known for its versatility and reliability in various electronic assemblies. The 53426-9030 specifically addresses the need for a three-position right-angle solution within this established product line.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.50mm pitch, 3-position count, right-angle orientation, and through-hole kinked pin design. Verify that any alternative maintains the same locking mechanism and physical dimensions to ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and mating connectors.
