90327-0304 Datasheet, PDF (5/20 Pages) Molex Electronics Ltd. – 1.27mm IDT Connector System for Ribbon Cable Applications

Introduction
The Molex 1.27mm Picoflex^® IDT
connector system is a versatile, highly
reliable connector system for high-density
power and signal ribbon cable applications,
where space & real estate is at a premium.
Due to the compact size and low profile the
Picoflex^® IDT system is ideal for a broad
range of applications in the automotive,
industrial, medical and consumer electro-
nic markets. Its highly reliable terminal
design, locking and cable strain relief
features guarantee secure electrical
connection in applications with high
vibrations and intense shock requirements.
The Picoflex^® IDT system comprises PCB
headers, cable connectors and standard
ribbon cable assemblies in various lengths
and circuit sizes.
Parts are delivered in a variety of packa-
ging formats to suit individual customer
requirements.
PCB Headers
The Picoflex^® family offers SMT and
SMC PCB headers in high temperature
nylon and Polyphthalamide. All headers
are polarized both to the PCB and to the
female connector. The staggered solder
tails with 1.27mm pitch have 2.54mm
distance between both solder tail rows,
which substantially reduces the risk of
solder bridging.
Seven header options are available:
• 90816 latched SMT header is molded
with Polyphthalamide, a UL94 HB
rated material. Its positive latches give
increased retention between the header
and the cable connector. It can be used
in a RoHS lead-free process up to 260°C
and is supplied with tin or select gold
plating and either tube or tape and reel
blister packaging.
• 90325 low-profile through hole header
with tin or select gold plating and 94 V-0
flammability rating, supplied in bag or
tube packaging
give an effective strain relief. Four contact
points per circuit and the integral strain
relief ensure excellent electrical contact.
Three optional cable connectors are
available:
• 90327 IDT connector with 94 V-0
flammability rating mates with all PCB
header versions, supplied with tin or
select gold plating
• 90584 board-in connector for permanent
board connections. The staggered tail
footprint is compatible with the footprint
of the standard male header, 94 V-0
flammability rating
• 91577 board-in connector for permanent
board connections. The staggered
tail footprint is compatible with the
footprint of the standard male header,
the pin layout of the 91577 layout is the
opposite to 90584, giving more options
to the customer, 94 V-0 flammability
rating
• 90779 low-profile SMC header has the
same features as series 90325, but is
molded with a high temperature nylon
material with 94 V-0 flammability rating
• 90814 SMT standard (wave solder
process) and low-profile (reflow process)
header with tin or select gold plating
featuring a high temperature nylon
material with 94 V-0 flammability rating
and is supplied either in tube or tape and
reel blister packaging
Cable Assemblies
Standard cable assemblies are available
from 6cm – 120cm.
Four standard options of cable assemblies
are available:
• 92315 cable assembly featuring two
90327 connectors in C-style (page xx)
• 92317 cable assembly featuring two
90327 connectors in Z-style (page xx)
• 90800 right-angle low-profile header
with 94 V-0 flammability rating is
delivered with kinked solder tails in tube
packaging
• 91714 right-angle low-profile SMC
header has the same features as series
90800, but is molded with a high
temperature nylon material with 94 V-0
flammability rating
• 91330 bottom-entry low-profile SMT
header in high temperature nylon
material with 94 V-0 flammability rating
can be used in a RoHS lead-free process
up to 260°C. It creates a double- sided
board effect with a single side SMT
process which reduces assembly costs
and is supplied in tin plating with tape
and reel blister packaging
Cable Connectors
The one-piece molded body with preloaded
IDT terminals and cable guide removes
the need for a separate upper housing,
terminals or an insertion tool which signifi-
cantly reduces applied costs.
The cable entry window on the IDT
connectors has a scalloped profile which
ensures precise positioning of the 1.27mm
26 to 28 AWG standard ribbon cable.
The connector is terminated by the IDT
terminal being pushed up into the housing,
displacing the cable jacket as well as posi-
tioning itself in the top of the housing to
• 92318 cable assembly either featuring
one 90327 connector and one 90584
board-in connector in Z-style(page xx)
• 92316 cable assembly featuring one
90327 receptacle and one 90584 board-
in connector in C-style (page xx)
A full range of non-standard options,
including shorter cable lengths, can be
supplied where commercially viable. Please
contact your Molex sales office for more
information.
Tooling
The Picoflex^® IDT connectors are designed
to minimise assembly cost and are comple-
mented by an extensive range of applica-
tion tools, from hand-tools for field repair
and prototyping to fully automatic, state
of the art, computer controlled harness
making machines. Depending on the level
of tooling chosen, machines are capable of
manufacturing double-ended electrical and
continuity tested cables. Daisy chaining is
also possible.
PCB Assemblies
Molex offers customized PCB assemblies.
Picoflex^® is only one product family out of
a variety of connector families which can
be assembled on demand. Please contact
your Molex sales office for more informa-
tion.
