3-Position Power Header for Board-Mount Distribution
The three contacts follow a 3 Power layout, meaning each position is sized for current-carrying duty rather than signal. Rated at 300V and housed in UL94 V-0 rated material, this header fits power distribution inside industrial equipment enclosures where flame-rated components are required.
Board Layout and Mounting Fit
As a through-hole right-angle header, the 6450123-3 requires plated through-holes on the PCB for the solder tails and board lock posts. The right-angle body means the connector stands off the board edge, so the mating receptacle approaches parallel to the board surface — check your enclosure clearance for cable bend radius and connector height above the PCB. The single-row layout with 3 positions keeps the PCB footprint compact, making it a space-efficient choice for distributing power to a single load or breaking out a low-count power bus. The mating guide is a mechanical keying feature — it does not carry current but ensures the receptacle housing aligns correctly before the power contacts engage.
