MOLEX / BRAD 2.54mm Pitch SL Header, Vertical, Shrouded, 5 Way

The MOLEX / BRAD 2.54mm Pitch SL Header is a single row, vertical connector designed for reliable and secure board-to-wire applications. Featuring a 5-way configuration, this header is engineered to facilitate precise and stable electrical connections within your electronic assemblies.

A standout feature of this component is its shrouded design. The shroud plays a critical role by polarising the connection, which ensures that the mating connector can only be inserted in the correct orientation. This prevents accidental reverse mating, safeguarding sensitive circuitry from potential damage. Furthermore, the shroud physically protects the connection, providing enhanced durability and ensuring secure mating even in environments subject to vibration or movement.

With a pocket depth of 3.05mm and a standard 2.54mm pitch, this header is compatible with a wide range of corresponding SL series crimp housings. Its vertical mounting orientation makes it particularly suitable for applications where space constraints on the horizontal plane are a consideration. The compact dimensions of 43mm in height, 33mm in width, and 15mm in depth, alongside a lightweight profile of just 2.087 grams, allow for versatile integration into densely packed PCB layouts.

This robust and precisely manufactured header is an essential component for ensuring secure, polarised, and protected electrical connections in a variety of electronic builds.
