1.5 mm Pitch, Vertical SMT, Active Production
Molex 87437-0663 is a 1.5 mm pitch wire-to-board vertical SMT pin header in Box packaging. Vertical orientation means the header stands perpendicular to the PCB, which suits tight board edge or mezzanine layouts where right-angle headers would exceed the z-height budget.
This is a pin header — it is one part of a three-piece wire-to-board system. The header mates with a matching 1.5 mm pitch crimp housing; the housing accepts a specific crimp terminal that must be ordered separately. The terminal's wire gauge range determines the harness-side current capacity. Confirm the mating housing part number and terminal part number before committing the BOM. Termination is SMT — the header is placed on the PCB and reflow-soldered. No through-hole pins; the SMT pads take the mechanical and electrical load. Board layout must match the 1.5 mm pitch footprint exactly.
