Picoflex®
1.27mm Ribbon
Cable Headers
and Connectors
Versatile, robust family of high-density 1.27mm wire-
to-board Picoflex® headers and connectors, now with
reverse PCB footprint SMT headers, offer space-saving
solutions for a greater range of compact power and
signal ribbon-cable applications

Picoflex headers and connectors provide highly reliable 1.27mm ribbon-
cable connections with high-retention forces in an extremely diverse range
of applications including solar, weighing systems, vehicle infotainment,
computer peripherals, telecommunications and portable heart-rate monitors.
Molex has expanded the Picoflex family to include reverse-footprint SMT
headers. Available with and without latches and in optional high-temperature
plastic, the new headers provide customers with a wider range of application
opportunities without the need for costly PCB re-design.

In addition to Tin (Sn) plated contacts, Molex offers Picoflex connectors and
headers plated with Palladium Nickel (PdNi) plus a Gold (Au) flash. Palladium
Nickel is a durable, technologically advanced plating material with excellent
wear-resistance properties, resistance to corrosion and is non-oxidizing. A flash
of Gold over the Palladium provides lubrication and surface wear resistance.

In today’s economic climate, PdNi-plated connectors are being widely adopted
as a replacement for pure Gold-plated versions owing to the superior deposit
characteristics of PdNi over Gold and lower, more stable raw material costs.
