Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BN' against official Molex documentation to confirm if it denotes a unique variant or packaging difference compared to the base model. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles such as the RM322 series. Confirm RoHS status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet to validate all mechanical and electrical specifications before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this connector when a high-pin-count, right-angle through-hole plug is required for MIL-DTL-55302 applications. The 182-position capacity suits dense circuit layouts. Ensure the mating environment supports the specified temperature range and that the PCB layout accommodates the right-angle form factor and mounting ear requirements. Verify that the 3 A current rating meets the system's power distribution needs.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn R Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for demanding industrial and military applications. The series is known for its durability and compliance with strict military standards. As a Molex company product, AirBorn connectors are widely used in aerospace and defense sectors where reliability under vibration and thermal stress is critical.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating receptacles include models from the RM322 series, such as RM322-182-211-5500, which share the same pitch and row configuration. Ensure the replacement maintains the same contact type (male plug vs. female receptacle) and termination style.
