Frequently Asked Questions
How many circuits does the 70246-5001 support and what is its contact pitch?
The Molex 70246-5001 is a 50-circuit connector with a 2.54mm C-Grid pitch. It features a single-slot shrouded receptacle body measuring approximately 2.8 inches in length, accommodating high-density board-to-wire connections in space-constrained applications.
What contact finish is used on the 70246-5001 and why does it matter for signal integrity?
The 70246-5001 uses a 0.38 µm gold (Au) plating on its mating contacts. Gold plating provides excellent corrosion resistance and maintains low contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-reliability applications such as server backplanes and industrial equipment.
Which PCB assembly processes is the Molex 70246-5001 compatible with given its RoHS status?
The 70246-5001 is fully RoHS-compliant and REACH-compliant, making it compatible with lead-free PCB soldering processes including SAC305 reflow and wave soldering at standard lead-free temperatures up to 260°C. This ensures seamless integration into modern automated assembly lines without special handling requirements.
