Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Molex/AirBorn documentation before procurement. Confirm that the suffix corresponds to the exact pin count and row configuration required. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same series. Check for any specific environmental certifications or material declarations if applicable to your project requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 80-position connection is required in a constrained space. The right-angle form factor aids in routing cables perpendicular to the board. Verify that the 1.91 mm pitch aligns with existing PCB layout constraints. Ensure the thermal rating of +125 C meets the operational environment demands.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn R Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for demanding applications. The series is known for its durability and compliance with military standards. Molex acquired AirBorn, integrating these specialized connectors into their broader portfolio. The R Series typically serves sectors requiring high reliability and vibration resistance.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 80-position count, 3-row configuration, and 1.91 mm pitch. Compatible alternatives include other MIL-DTL-55302 compliant plugs from qualified manufacturers. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact plating specifications to ensure interchangeability without redesign.
