Overview

The 53261-0371 is a 3-position, 1.25mm pitch header from the Molex PicoBlade series. This surface-mount connector features a right-angle orientation and a shrouded 4-wall design to ensure secure wire-to-board connections in space-constrained layouts.

Why Choose This Part

The detent lock mechanism provides superior mating retention compared to standard friction-fit headers. Its 1.25mm pitch significantly reduces PCB footprint requirements while the solder tabs (solder retention features) offer high mechanical stability for the SMT leads.

Applications

Internal Signal Routing
Connecting sensors or small displays to a main control board in handheld electronics.
Battery Interconnects
Linking small lithium-polymer batteries to charging circuits in wearables.
Fan and Motor Headers
Providing a reliable power and control interface for miniature DC fans or stepper motors.
Industrial Sensor Modules
Serving as a compact interface for modular industrial sensors where vibration resistance is required.
