Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch does the Molex 90120-0122 use, and which mating connectors are compatible with it?
The Molex 90120-0122 uses a standard 0.1" (2.54 mm) pitch, which is compatible with a wide range of Molex and third-party 2.54 mm receptacle housings and crimp terminal systems, making it a flexible choice for cable harnesses and PCB interconnects in consumer and industrial equipment.
What contact finish is used on the 90120-0122 and how does it affect connector longevity?
The 90120-0122 uses a tin over nickel contact finish on the termination side. This provides a good balance of solderability and corrosion resistance, with nickel acting as a diffusion barrier. Tin contacts are rated for typical insertion cycles up to 30 times and perform reliably in environments with relative humidity below 85%.
How does the body dimension of the 90120-0122 affect PCB layout planning?
The 90120-0122 has a body length of 0.2" and body depth of 0.098", keeping its through-hole footprint very compact at 2.54 mm pitch spacing. This allows designers to place the connector close to other components on densely populated PCBs, reducing the routing distance to signal traces and minimizing board area impact.
Is the Molex 90120-0122 suitable for high-volume automated PCB assembly, and what lead time should procurement teams plan for?
The 90120-0122 is a through-hole vertical header suitable for wave soldering in automated assembly lines, though its 0.1" pitch also supports manual soldering for prototyping. Factory lead time is typically 12 weeks, so procurement teams should plan orders well in advance for production builds to avoid supply gaps.
