Right-angle SMT header for tight board-edge routing
The 5023520300 is a 3-position, single-row header from Molex's DuraClik 502352 series, terminated via surface-mount solder in a right-angle orientation. The shrouded 4-wall housing with latch lock provides positive retention against vibration-induced separation — the latch audibly clicks when fully mated, a feature that matters in underhood or factory-floor environments where the connector sees constant motion.
Solder retention and board-level reliability
The right-angle orientation places the mating axis parallel to the board, so the latch lock takes the primary load — the solder joints see mostly shear, not peel.
Mating and termination checklist
Mates with DuraClik 502352 receptacle housings (sold separately) that accept 20-24 AWG crimp terminals.
