Key Features
- 12-circuit dual-row Micro-Fit BMI right-angle header with 3.0 mm pitch for high-current PCB connections
- Surface-mount compatible footprint enabling reflow soldering without mechanical pegs, simplifying automated assembly
- 5 A per contact current rating suitable for power distribution in motor drives and embedded power supplies
- RoHS compliant construction with lead-free materials meeting global environmental compliance requirements
Applications
The Molex 44428-1201 Micro-Fit BMI header is widely used in power distribution sub-assemblies, motor control boards, and industrial automation equipment where 5 A per contact current capacity is required. Its right-angle orientation lowers connector height, making it well suited for compact enclosures and backplane-style PCB interconnects. The 12-circuit dual-row layout also serves server power delivery, robotics wiring harnesses, and embedded computing power rails.

Frequently Asked Questions
What current can each contact in the Molex 44428-1201 handle, and does it suit motor-drive applications?
Each contact in the 44428-1201 is rated for 5 A, giving the 12-circuit header a total power delivery capacity of 60 A when all contacts are loaded. This makes it a strong fit for motor control boards, stepper-driver modules, and 24 V industrial power buses where reliable high-current connections are essential.
How does the right-angle orientation of the 44428-1201 influence PCB layout for low-profile enclosures?
The right-angle body of the 44428-1201 allows the mating wire harness to exit parallel to the PCB surface, reducing vertical clearance requirements to roughly 10 mm above the board compared to vertical-mount alternatives. This profile is critical in 1U rack enclosures, slim industrial panels, and server blades where total assembly height is constrained to under 20 mm.
Does the Molex 44428-1201 require a snap-in peg for PCB retention, and how does that affect manufacturing?
The 44428-1201 is specified without a snap-in plastic peg PCB lock, relying on solder joints for retention rather than mechanical peg interference. This simplifies PCB drilling (no peg holes needed) and reduces the PCB footprint by approximately 1 mm per side, while still providing adequate mechanical strength when all 12 contacts are properly soldered during reflow.
Which alternative Molex Micro-Fit connectors should engineers consider if they need fewer circuits than 12?
Engineers needing fewer circuits can select Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 headers in 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10-circuit variants, all sharing the same 3.0 mm pitch and 5 A per contact rating. The BMI surface-mount compatible series maintains footprint consistency across circuit counts, so the same PCB pad layout can be reused by simply swapping to a smaller header in design iterations.
