Frequently Asked Questions
What mounting method does the Molex 55460-0572 use to secure itself to the PCB?
The Molex 55460-0572 uses a fitting nail board mounting option, which provides mechanical retention by pressing a nail-shaped peg into a corresponding PCB hole without soldering the mounting feature itself. This fitting nail approach withstands mating insertion forces of several Newtons and is common on connectors with body dimensions around 0.179 x 0.276 inch where additional side-load stability is needed beyond what solder pads alone provide in the end-application enclosure.
What contact finish does the 55460-0572 use and how does it affect solderability in high-volume PCB assembly?
The 55460-0572 uses tin-plated contact termination, which is compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles peaking at 260°C per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. Tin finish provides good solderability and wettability for automated SMT and wave-soldering processes with a shelf life of typically 12 months, making this Molex connector suitable for high-volume PCB assembly operations where cost-effective, RoHS-compliant termination is required.
In which embedded computing or industrial applications is the Molex 55460-0572 board connector typically deployed?
The 55460-0572 is used in board-to-board interconnection within industrial control panels, embedded single-board computers, and PLC I/O expansion cards where the 0.276-inch body depth and fitting nail retention accommodate repeated daughtercard insertion under mechanical vibration. Its male contact gender and tin termination make it compatible with standard 2.54 mm or equivalent female receptacle systems, enabling modular designs where multiple 5 V or 3.3 V signal rails and ground returns share a single compact connector footprint.
