Product details

The 90122-0778: This is a 36-circuit, dual-row breakaway header from the Molex C-Grid III 90122 series. Rated for automotive and general-purpose use, the header carries a UL94 V-0 glass-filled polyester insulation body, which holds up to the flame-rating requirements of equipment inside an enclosure.

Solder termination with a 0.114" (2.90mm) post length gives enough through-hole depth for standard 1.6mm PCBs. The post is tin-plated at 118.1 µinch (3.00 µm) — this is the solder-joint side, where tin ensures good wetting.

Gold Mating Finish for Moderate-Cycle Reliability

Fifteen microinches of gold is the entry-level thickness for applications that see occasional mating cycles — think field-service swaps or test-fixture connections — where the gold prevents oxide buildup on the pin surface. The square male pin shape with a 0.266" (6.75mm) mating length provides a standard interface for C-Grid III crimp receptacles or IDC sockets.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pitch of Molex 90122-0778?

The mating pitch is 0.100" (2.54mm), and the row spacing is also 0.100" (2.54mm). This is the standard dual-row grid used by most C-Grid III receptacles and IDC connectors.

Is 90122-0778 suitable for automotive applications?

Yes, the header is listed for automotive and general-purpose use. The UL94 V-0 glass-filled polyester housing and gold-plated contacts support the thermal and vibration profile typical of cabin or under-hood electronics, though it is not a sealed connector.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 90122-0778?

The breakaway design allows snapping to a smaller circuit count, but for a different pitch or plating grade, a separate order code would be needed.
