53261-1071

The Molex 53261-1071 is a 10-circuit header from the PicoBlade connector system, designed for wire-to-board signal applications. It features a 1.25mm mating pitch with a single row of right-angle surface mount terminals. The fully shrouded housing provides physical protection and includes an integral locking mechanism to ensure secure mating with compatible PicoBlade receptacles.

Electrical ratings include 1A maximum current per contact and 125V maximum voltage, suitable for low-power signal circuits. The operating temperature range spans -40°C to +85°C, allowing use in a variety of environments. Contacts are phosphor bronze with tin plating on both mating and termination surfaces, offering reliable conductivity and solderability.

The header is polarized to the PCB for correct orientation during assembly, and PCB retention features hold the component in place during soldering. The insulator is molded from high-temperature thermoplastic (UL 94V-0) in natural color. The component is supplied in embossed tape on reel for automated pick-and-place assembly.

This header mates with Molex PicoBlade 51021 series housings. The 30-cycle durability rating supports moderate-use applications. Fully shrouded design and positive locking make it suited for applications where vibration resistance and connector retention are important.
