Molex Mini-Fit Jr. Right Angle Header, 12 Way, Snap-in Lock

The Molex Mini-Fit Jr. Right Angle Header is a high-quality, twelve-circuit connector designed for reliable power connections in compact electronic assemblies. This dual-row header features a convenient right-angle configuration, allowing for efficient use of board space and facilitating easier cable routing in tight installations. Its robust construction ensures dependable performance for a wide range of applications.

A key feature of this header is the integrated snap-in plastic peg PCB lock. This innovative locking mechanism provides secure retention to the printed circuit board, preventing accidental disconnection during assembly, handling, or operation. This enhances the overall mechanical stability and reliability of the connection in demanding environments.

The connector utilises the proven Mini-Fit Jr. platform, renowned for its dependable 4.2mm pitch connections. This pitch is ideal for carrying higher currents while maintaining a compact footprint. The right-angle design is particularly beneficial for creating perpendicular connections between the PCB and wiring, helping to organise cables and reduce strain on solder joints.

Ideal Applications

This 12-way header is perfectly suited for internal power distribution within computers, servers, and industrial control systems. It is commonly used to connect power supplies to motherboards, expansion cards, and drive assemblies. Its reliable locking feature makes it an excellent choice for applications subject to vibration or frequent servicing, ensuring connections remain intact over the product's lifespan.
