G125-MH11605L5R

Overview

The Harwin G125-MH11605L5R is a Gecko-Latch male header connector featuring a 1.25 mm pitch and dual-row configuration with 16 positions. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes right-angle solder pin termination with a 3.3 mm tail length. The contacts are gold-plated phosphor bronze, rated for 2 A current and 450 V voltage. Operating within a -65°C to +150°C range, the green polyamide housing offers UL 94 V-0 flammability. It employs a latch lock mechanism for secure mating.

Feature Summary

• Gecko-Latch series provides a positive mechanical locking system for reliable connection retention during vibration or shock.
• Right-angle through-hole design facilitates dense board layouts while maintaining standard vertical mating interfaces.
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure low contact resistance and high corrosion resistance for long-term signal integrity.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Consumer electronics with space-constrained PCB layouts
• Automotive electronic modules needing secure interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L5R' against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm the horizontal orientation and tape-and-reel packaging format. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets from the same Gecko-Latch family. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer's latest documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle, latching male header is required for high-density applications. The 1.25 mm pitch allows for significant I/O density on limited board space. Verify that the 3.3 mm tail length fits within the assembly height constraints and that the latch mechanism aligns with the mating interface requirements of the target system.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Gecko-SL and Gecko-Latch families, which are designed for high-reliability interconnects in demanding environments. The series emphasizes secure locking mechanisms and compact form factors. The G125-MH11605L5R specifically addresses needs for angled, latching connections in modern electronic assemblies where vibration resistance is critical.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Direct replacement requires identical pitch, row count, and locking mechanism specifications. Consult Harwin engineering for potential cross-reference options if this specific variant is unavailable.

FAQ

What type of locking mechanism does the G125-MH11605L5R use?

It uses a Gecko-Latch mechanism, which provides a positive mechanical lock to prevent accidental disconnection.

Is the connector suitable for automated assembly?

Yes, the 'R' suffix indicates it is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging, facilitating pick-and-place automation.
