The 2125282000: This is a 20-position, 2-row header from the Micro-Fit+ 212528 series, designed for board-to-cable/wire interconnects. The shrouded 4-wall housing protects the male pins from damage during handling and mis-mating. A locking ramp on the top latches with the mating receptacle for a vibration-resistant connection — useful in equipment that sees shock or continuous motion. Board locks on the through-hole tails anchor the header during wave soldering and resist shear forces from the cable assembly pulling on the mated pair. The right-angle orientation routes the cable parallel to the board, saving z-height in tight enclosures.
Sourcing and lifecycle — active production, quoted per RFQ
The base product number 212528 covers the Micro-Fit+ header family; this specific variant (2125282000) is the 20-circuit, right-angle, tin-plated version in tray packaging.
Mating and termination — what it pairs with and how it mounts
This header mates with Micro-Fit+ receptacle housings (e.g., 212529 series) using the matching crimp terminals. The locking ramp engages with the receptacle latch for a positive retention — no secondary lock needed on the header side. Termination is through-hole solder — the 0.125" (3.18 mm) post length fits standard PCB thicknesses. The 0.118" (3.00 mm) row spacing matches the pitch, keeping the board layout symmetrical.
ROHS3 compliant per current Molex documentation.
