Overview

The 0022232061 is a 6-position, single-row vertical header from the Molex KK 254 series with a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch. It features a friction lock mechanism to ensure secure mating in wire-to-board applications and is rated for up to 4A per contact and 500V.

Why Choose This Part

The friction lock design provides a tactile click and prevents accidental disconnection due to vibration. The brass contacts with tin plating offer a balance of high conductivity and cost-effectiveness, while the UL 94V-0 rated nylon housing ensures safety in industrial and consumer electronics.

Applications

Internal Peripheral Connectivity
Connecting cooling fans, status LEDs, and front panel buttons to a main PCB.
Power Distribution
Providing low-current DC power rails to secondary boards within a chassis.
Sensor Interfacing
Acting as a robust interface for analog or digital sensors requiring a polarized connection.
Prototyping
Standard 0.100 inch pitch makes it compatible with most perfboards and breadboard-style layouts for development.
