The 2005010321: This Molex stAK50h 200501 header is a Board to Cable/Wire connector — it sits on the PCB and mates with a wire harness receptacle, not another board. The 32 positions are arranged in 5 rows, which packs signal and power circuits into a compact footprint for automotive control modules. The dual current rating — 3A per contact on some circuits, 13A on others — tells you this header handles mixed loads in one body. The 13A circuits likely use thicker contacts or wider traces on the PCB side; the 3A circuits carry sensor or logic signals. The black glass-filled SPS housing holds up to vibration and thermal cycling typical in vehicle wiring.
32 circuits, 5 rows — layout constraints
With 32 positions loaded across 5 rows, the board footprint is wider than a standard 2-row header. The 0.949 inch (24.10 mm) insulation height means the header stands tall above the PCB — plan for clearance above the board and below any adjacent components. The post length is short enough to avoid bottom-side clearance issues on standard 1.6 mm boards.
Sourcing and lifecycle reality
ROHS3 compliant. No official cross-reference or pin-compatible alternative is listed in the Molex stAK50h series — the 32-position, 5-row layout is specific to this order code.
