G125-MH11605L3P

Overview

The Harwin G125-MH11605L3P is a Gecko-Latch male header connector featuring a 1.25 mm pitch and 16 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes surface mount technology with straight orientation and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The unit supports a voltage rating of 250V and a current capacity of 2A, operating within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. The housing is constructed from nylon, providing UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings. This component includes a PCB hold-down mechanism without locking features.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a mechanical PCB hold-down system for enhanced board stability during mating cycles.
• Employs gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance.
• Features a compact 1.25 mm pitch design suitable for high-density electronic assemblies.

Applications

• High-density board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections requiring secure mounting
• Industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix L3P confirms the straight orientation and 3.3mm tail length against project requirements. Confirm that the Gecko-Latch series hold-down feature aligns with the assembly's mechanical constraints. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for surface mount components. Cross-reference the 2A current rating with the actual thermal environment of the application.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a secure PCB hold-down mechanism is required for 1.25 mm pitch applications. Consider the 2A current rating and 250V insulation voltage for circuit safety. Evaluate the need for gold plating on phosphor bronze contacts for long-term reliability. Compare against other Gecko series variants if different orientations or locking mechanisms are preferred.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Harwin Gecko-Latch series, designed for robust connectivity in demanding environments. The series emphasizes mechanical stability through integrated hold-down features. It complements female counterparts within the same pitch family to form complete interconnect solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin Gecko-Latch headers with identical 1.25 mm pitch and 16-position configurations. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same PCB hold-down functionality and contact material specifications.
