G125-MV21005L2P

Overview

The G125-MV21005L2P is a Gecko-Latch series header connector manufactured by Harwin. It features a 1.25 mm pitch and a 2x5 position configuration, totaling ten male pins. Designed for through-hole mounting at a right angle, the unit utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed in green polyamide insulation. The connector supports a current rating of 2 A and operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated mechanical latching system ensures secure mating retention
• Shrouded four-wall housing design provides pin alignment and protection
• Right-angle through-hole termination facilitates compact board layout

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable interconnects
• Automotive electronics modules
• Consumer appliance circuit boards

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required orientation and contact count. Confirm RoHS compliance status with the manufacturer prior to finalizing orders. Ensure storage conditions maintain integrity of the polyamide housing and gold plating before assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a locked connection is necessary to prevent accidental disconnection in vibration-prone environments. The shrouded design aids in preventing misalignment during insertion. Verify that the right-angle form factor fits within the available vertical clearance on the target PCB.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Gecko-Latch family, which distinguishes itself from standard headers by incorporating a positive locking mechanism. This series is engineered for high-reliability applications where signal integrity and physical security are critical requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1.25 mm pitch, 2x5 configuration, and latching feature. Generic non-latching headers may function electrically but will lack the required mechanical retention strength.
