Board-Stacking Fit for Ultra-Thin Designs
The Molex 5050661022 is a 10-circuit receptacle from the SlimStack Armor 505066 series, built for board-to-board mezzanine stacking at a tight 0.6 mm mated height. The 0.014" (0.35 mm) pitch lets you route dense signal pairs on a compact PCB — this is the tightest pitch in the SlimStack family, so the board footprint is the gating factor, not the connector body. Gold-plated center strip contacts with 4.00 µin of gold on the mating surface handle the cycle life for internal device connections where the board is mated once at final assembly.
SMT Assembly and Solder Retention
Surface-mount termination with pick-and-place and solder retention features means this receptacle runs through a standard reflow line without secondary operations. The solder retention tabs anchor the part during wave or reflow, reducing tombstoning risk at the 0.35 mm pitch. Tape-and-reel packaging feeds directly into a placement machine — no manual handling.
The mated pair achieves the 0.6 mm stacking height. No keying or polarization feature is specified on this member, so confirm the plug orientation matches your board layout before committing the BOM line.
