Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer lot traceability and RoHS compliance status directly with Molex or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the right-angle orientation and solder termination method align precisely with your PCB footprint design requirements. Ensure environmental sealing needs are met if the application involves exposure to moisture or contaminants, as standard versions may require additional gaskets.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part when a right-angle connection is necessary to reduce profile height or manage cable routing constraints. The 36-position count suits moderate-density applications. Verify that the solder cup or through-hole process matches your assembly capabilities. Consider the PPS material properties for high-temperature soldering processes. Ensure mating connectors are compatible with the W Series pin-and-socket arrangement.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of rectangular connectors known for high density and reliability. The M55302 designation indicates adherence to the MIL-DTL-55302 specification, which defines general requirements for these connectors.
