6-position right-angle receptacle for board-edge signal or low-power interconnect
The TE Connectivity 5787526-1 is a 6-position receptacle from the Multi-Directional Interconnection System (MDI) series, designed for board-to-wire or board-to-board signal and low-power interconnect. It uses a single row of female blade sockets on a 2.00 mm pitch, terminated by through-hole solder tails in a right-angle orientation — suited for board-edge mounting where the cable exits parallel to the PCB. The black syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) housing includes an integral board guide to align the connector during assembly, and the push-pull fastening type allows tool-less mating and unmating. Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts (3.00 µ" gold) carry 4 A per circuit, with an operating temperature range of -30°C to 70°C.
Pitch, position count, and mounting drive the board fit
The 2.00 mm pitch and single-row layout keep the board footprint narrow — useful for dense routing where board real estate is tight. The right-angle solder tails place the connector body flush against the board edge, so the mating axis is parallel to the PCB. With 6 positions, this receptacle matches a 6-circuit harness or a 6-contact header. The gold flash (3.00 µ") on the contacts supports moderate mating cycles in a clean environment; for higher cycle counts or corrosive atmospheres, a thicker gold plate would be preferred.
