908160012

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Molex 90816-0012 is a Picoflex surface mount latched vertical header featuring PCB pegs. It provides 12 circuits with a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch in a single row configuration. The connector utilizes tin plating on the contacts and includes a black housing. Designed for wire-to-board applications, it supports straight orientation mounting directly onto printed circuit boards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount latched design ensures secure attachment to the PCB
• Integrated PCB pegs provide mechanical stability during assembly
• Vertical orientation facilitates compact board layout integration

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Wire-to-board interconnections in electronic assemblies
• Surface mount technology (SMT) manufacturing processes
• Compact consumer electronics requiring vertical headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 12-position configuration and 1.27 mm pitch specifications. Confirm that the tin plating and black housing finish align with the project material requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles and check for any specific handling instructions related to the latched mechanism.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, surface-mount header with integrated locking features is required. The 1.27 mm pitch suits high-density applications where space is limited. Consider the PCB peg feature for enhanced mechanical retention compared to standard surface mount headers without such support structures.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Picoflex series, which specializes in surface mount connectors with latching mechanisms. The 90816 series specifically addresses needs for vertical headers that maintain secure connections while fitting within tight spatial constraints on modern printed circuit boards.
