Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the Molex 90325-0018 connector have and what is its current rating per contact?
The Molex 90325-0018 is an 18-position Picoflex low-profile board connector rated for 1.2 A per contact at 250 V. This current capacity supports both signal-level and light power wiring in flat-flex cable assemblies used in consumer electronics, medical instrumentation, and industrial panel wiring.
What is the purpose of the PCB peg feature on the Molex 90325-0018?
The PCB peg on the Molex 90325-0018 inserts into a corresponding hole in the PCB to mechanically anchor the connector during SMT reflow soldering. This prevents the connector from shifting or tilting under solder paste surface tension at temperatures above 200°C, ensuring correct 18-position alignment without manual holding fixtures.
Which cable types are compatible with the Molex 90325-0018 Picoflex header?
The 90325-0018 is designed to mate with Molex Picoflex flat-flex cable assemblies and IDC-style ribbon cable connectors that use the 1.27 mm pitch Picoflex mating interface. These cable assemblies support up to 18 circuits at 1.2 A each, commonly used for panel-to-board interconnects in compact consumer and industrial electronic systems.
How does the staggered contact configuration of the 90325-0018 improve connector performance?
The staggered pin arrangement of the Molex 90325-0018 distributes mating forces across multiple rows, reducing the insertion force required for 18-position engagement while maintaining reliable electrical contact at each of the 18 positions rated for 1.2 A. This configuration also provides inherent polarization, preventing incorrect cable orientation during assembly.
