Environment & Soldering 

Cross‑Reference / Compatible Replacement for International Brands

> Drop‑in mechanical & electrical replacement for mainstream series (Molex C‑Grid III, TE AMP‑LATCH 2.54mm series)

• Fit for projects migrating from expensive long‑lead‑time overseas components
• Note: Verify stack height, locking structure, and sealing requirements before substitution; automotive safety‑critical systems require project validation testing
• We provide drawings & samples for cross‑reference verification

Product Features

• 3U gold‑plated brass contacts: stable signal transmission, anti‑oxidation for long‑term vibration scenarios
• IP65 sealed structure: dust‑proof & splash‑proof in mated state, suitable for outdoor & on‑vehicle modules
• Multiple mechanical options: straight pin / right‑angle / SMT mounting, custom plastic height for different PCB stacking gaps
• Optional SMT suction cap: direct pick‑and‑place by SMT machine, no manual handling
• Polarization key design: prevents reverse mis‑mating during assembly
• High‑temperature insulator, survives SMT reflow soldering process

Product Advantage

• Customizable mechanical dimensions, flexible for non‑standard PCB layout
• Ready‑to‑use Tape & Reel / Tube packaging, directly fed to customer SMT production line
• Short lead‑time for samples & mass orders vs international brand long‑lead parts
• Strict in‑house IP‑rating, salt‑spray & vibration validation for automotive reliability
• Cost‑effective alternative without sacrificing automotive‑grade performance
• Support drawing modification & full‑project technical support for customer engineers

Application

• Automotive on‑board control modules, vehicle sensor signal connection
• Industrial control equipment, outdoor IoT gateway
• Modular industrial PLC, embedded computing systems
• Heavy‑duty outdoor communication devices
• Harsh‑environment board‑to‑board signal & low‑power interconnection

Packaging

1. Tape & Reel: For SMT automatic pick‑and‑place machine; components with SMT suction cap, ready for mass‑production assembly
2. Tube (Tube packaging): For manual assembly or small‑batch prototype validation

Please specify packaging requirement when placing inquiry.

Customer Selection Guide (Engineer Tips)

1. Confirm mating height, mounting type (Straight / Right‑Angle / SMT) before selection
2. If using automatic SMT production, must specify SMT suction cap + Tape & Reel packaging
3. IP65 waterproof performance is only guaranteed under fully mated condition
4. For automotive safety‑critical applications, please send us your test specification for validation
5. Send your PCB drawing or target competitor part number; we recommend a matched variant & provide a free sample for testing
