MX3.09 6P SMT Covered Wafer Header

 

The MX3.09 6P SMT Covered Wafer Header is designed for PCB assemblies that use a six-pin wire-to-board connection. Its SMT mounting style makes it a suitable option for board designs that use surface mount components, while the cover gives the connector a defined housing shape for the mating side.

 

When choosing a wafer header, it is worth checking more than just the pin count. The board footprint, pitch, housing shape and matching wire connector all need to work together. This 6 pin SMT covered wafer header is intended for projects that need a compact six-position connection, with the exact fit confirmed against the product drawing.

 

 

Surface mount technology is widely used in PCB assembly because components can be placed directly onto the board surface. An SMT wafer header can be considered for layouts where the connector needs to sit on the PCB without using a through-hole mounting method. This can help keep the board design in line with the assembly process already used by the factory.

 

For production teams, the pad layout and soldering process deserve a close check before a new connector is added to the board. Confirm the recommended footprint, solder pad size and mounting direction with the product drawing. If your project uses a connector wafer, make sure the selected version matches the board design and the wire-side housing.

 

The six-pin layout gives this model six connection positions in one housing. The cover helps form a defined mating area, which is useful when planning how the Wire Harness connects to the PCB. For equipment with several wire connections, a clear pin arrangement can also make the assembly drawing easier to follow.

 

A 6 Pin SMT Wafer Connector With Cover should be checked against the matching housing before ordering. Look at the pin count, pitch, keying shape and contact position rather than relying on a similar product photo. These checks help reduce the risk of choosing a connector that looks close but does not fit the mating part.

 

 

The MX3.09 designation points to a different pitch family from the common 2.54mm wafer range. This matters when you compare connectors for a new PCB or replace a part in an existing device. A 3.09mm pitch should not be treated as interchangeable with a wafer connector 2.54 mm or a wafer connector 2.0 mm. Check the centre-to-centre pin spacing on the drawing before confirming the order.

 

The MX3.09 6T Surface Mount Wafer Header can be considered when the board design calls for this pitch and a six-position SMT connection. If you are changing from another connector series, compare the footprint, pin layout and mating housing first. A quick drawing check can save time during sample testing and production setup.

 

A connector needs to fit the board, match the wire harness and stay consistent from one production batch to the next. Dongguan Yangzhankang Electronics Co., Ltd. has focused on connectors and wire harness assemblies since 2010. Its product range covers pin headers, female headers, BOX headers, IDC headers, D-SUB connectors, PH connectors and custom wire harness parts, giving buyers more options when building a complete connection system.
