Product Features
- Pin‑to‑pin mechanical & footprint compatibility with Molex 87437, easy BOM substitution without PCB redesign
- Vertical single‑row shrouded housing prevents mis‑mating and pin bending during assembly
- High‑temperature housing material, stable under lead‑free reflow soldering, resists warpage & blistering
- Brass alloy contact with precise plating; low contact resistance for stable signal transmission
- Robust contact retention, withstands vibration & mechanical shock for vehicle and drone operating conditions
- Multiple circuit options: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,15 positions
- Standard tape‑and‑reel packaging for SMT pick‑and‑place; custom packaging available for special projects
- Optional gold plating for harsh‑environment, high‑cycle mating applications
Product Advantages
- Drop‑in replacement: Direct substitute for Molex 87437, no PCB layout modification, shortens project redesign cycle
- Automotive‑qualified robustness: Optimized anti‑vibration performance for drone and vehicle control modules, outperforms consumer‑grade SMT headers under shock conditions
- Assembly‑friendly: Shroud shell protects pins against damage during handling & mating; stable reflow performance, lower SMT defect rate (less tomb‑stone / warpage)
- Flexible plating options: Tin for cost‑sensitive mass production; gold plating option for high‑reliability harsh‑condition projects
- Short lead‑time: Wide stock range for 2‑15P standard parts; fast custom modification support
- Cost‑effective alternative: Competitive pricing versus original branded part, maintain same electrical‑mechanical performance for BOM cost optimization
Application
- Automotive electronics: On‑board control units, body modules, sensor signal interface
- UAV / Drone: Flight‑controller PCB, power‑signal interconnection, payload modules
- Compact industrial controllers & sensor modules
- Smart equipment, IoT embedded devices
- Medical compact signal boards (non‑safety critical)
Customer Selection Guide
- Confirm required pin count: 2‑15P available; specify exact position number when requesting quotation
- Plating selection: Tin‑plating for general indoor/normal vibration; select gold plating for high‑shock, humid environment or frequent mating cycles
- PCB footprint: Use footprint compatible with Molex 87437 series for direct drop‑in swap
- Assembly notice: Must follow J‑STD‑020 reflow curve; prolonged over‑temperature will cause housing deformation
- Sample request: Samples available for performance verification before mass order
- Custom support: Special housing color, special tape‑reel specs can be negotiated for large‑volume projects
FAQ
1. Q: Do you have a catalogue? Can you send me the catalogue to check all your products?
A: Yes, you can contact us online or send an Email to get the catalogue.
2. Q: I can't find the product in your catalogue, can you make this product for me?
A: Our catalogue shows most of our products, but not all. Just let us know what product you need, and how many you want. If we do not have it, we can also design and make a new mould to produce it. For your reference, making an ordinary mould will take about35-45 days.
3. Q: Can you provide a sample? Are these samples free?
A: Yes, we provide 5-10 pcs of connector free samples for testing. But you have to pay for the shipping cost
4. Q: What about your delivery time?
A: Stock goods are delivered within 1 day; customized goods are delivered within 5-7days
5. Q: How to ship my order?
A: For small packages, send them by Express, such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT, EMS. That's Door-to-Door service. For big packages, we can send them by Air or by sea. We use standard export cartons. We are responsible for any product damage caused during delivery.
6. Q: What kind of payment do you accept? Can I pay RMB?
A: Weaccept T/T(Wire transfer), Western Union, and PayPal. Please make sure that we can receive the same amount as the Invoice. And you can pay in RMB. No problem.
7. Q: How about your company's quality control
A: Strictly obey ISO9001, IQC, OQC, IPQC, QA occupy 10% of our Quality department. All of our products will be tested by CCD.
8. Q: I need your price list of all your products. Do you have a price list?
A: We do not have a price list of all of our products. Because we have so many items, it's impossible to make all of their prices on a list, and the prices are always changing because of the material cost and quantity. And you can give us a list of all of the items you need; we will confirm carefully one by one and give you a specification and price list
9. Q: Can you make customized products and customized packing?
A: Yes. We have made a lot of customized
products for our customers formerly (mainly wire harnesses). About customized packing, there is no problem for we put your logo or other information on the package. Just have to point out that it incurs additional cost.
