Features and Benefits

Molex custom header family offers complete design flexibility to modify standard headers or develop new customized connectors to meet specific design requirements. Use the Custom Header Configurator or contact Molex to find a custom header solution that caters to a wide variety of programs and volumes.

When OEMs perform pin insertion onto PCBs, they need to invest in stitching machinery to do so, and that increases manufacturing costs. Custom Headers make pin insertion unnecessary and eliminate the need for customers to invest in stitching machinery.

OEMs often look for ways to simplify their manufacturing processes to reduce costs and get products to market more quickly. Custom Headers reduce steps manufacturing process by providing headers with pins already inserted.

While press-fit headers typically meet automotive standards, the interface isn’t the most robust available. Soldered termination not only meets automotive standards, it also provides a stronger interface than press-fit.
