Frequently asked questions
What does the 0702800677 mate with?
It mates with the matching C-Grid 70280 series dual-row receptacle housing — the square-pin geometry and 0.100" pitch are consistent across that family. Confirm the housing's lock type matches your retention requirement, since the header itself is unshrouded with no internal latch.
What is the split plating on this header for?
Gold on the mating face (0.76 µm) protects the plug/receptacle interface through repeated mate/unmate cycles; tin on the solder post (1.90 µm) is optimized for solderability and board-level assembly. This is a standard signal-grade plating strategy — not a power contact configuration.
What compliance documentation is available?
The listing includes a UL94 V-0 flammability rating for the LCP insulator. Specific RoHS, REACH, or UL agency approvals are not listed on this spec sheet — confirm with Molex directly if your quality system requires a certificate of conformance for those directives.
