Micro Fit 3.0 2x3 Pin Header Connector, 3.00mm Pitch Side Entry PCB Power Signal Interface for Automotive Electronics, Industrial Control, Server Supply Units, Custom Wiring

This Micro-Fit 3.0 side-entry header is a 3.00 mm pitch, 2×3 pin PCB connector designed for compact power and signal distribution. The right-angle through-hole construction allows the mating plug to engage horizontally with the board, maximizing vertical space inside power modules and control units.

The housing utilizes black glass-filled LCP with UL94-V0 flammability, delivering excellent heat resistance and dimensional stability during wave or selective soldering. Copper-alloy contacts with 50–100 µ" tin plating provide stable solder joints, low contact resistance and good resistance to oxidation in harsh environments.

With contact resistance ≤20 mΩ, insulation resistance ≥1,000 MΩ and 1500 VAC dielectric strength, this connector is suitable for both low-voltage power rails and mixed signal lines. A minimum 1.5 kgf pin retention force after reflow or wave soldering ensures secure mechanical anchoring to the PCB, reducing the risk of failure under vibration or shock.

Customization services are available, including different positions, plating thickness, housing color and complete cable assemblies, making it an effective alternative to well-known brands such as Tyco and Amphenol for cost-optimized projects.

⚠️ Notes

• Ensure Correct Pin Alignment: Check orientation and positioning before mating to avoid mis-insertion, bent pins, or PCB pad damage.
• Do Not Exceed Electrical Ratings: Follow the specified current and voltage limits to prevent overheating or contact failure.
• Proper Insertion and Extraction Force: Avoid excessive force during mating/unmating to prevent deformation, cracked solder joints, or pin damage.
• Keep Contact Surfaces Clean: Ensure terminals remain free from dust, oil, oxidation, or contaminants that reduce conductivity.
• Follow Recommended Soldering Conditions: Use appropriate soldering temperature profiles according to plastic materials such as LCP, PA6T, PA66, or PBT.
• Verify PCB Hole Tolerance: Incorrect hole size may cause inadequate solder filling or mechanical instability.
• Avoid Mechanical Stress After Assembly: Do not apply lateral pressure or bending forces, especially for SMT pin headers.
• Maintain Proper Storage Conditions: Store in a dry, dust-free environment to prevent terminal oxidation; use anti-static packaging if required.
• Confirm Compatibility with Female Header: Ensure matching pitch, pin count, height, and contact design to avoid mating failure.
• Choose Correct Plating Specification: Select proper plating (gold, tin, nickel) based on your application’s durability, corrosion resistance, and signal reliability needs.
