The 52601-S26-4LF is a Quickie® Shrouded Header Low Profile connector designed for flat cable-to-board connections using 2.54mm pitch IDC technology. It features a four-walled shrouded design with dual polarization to prevent connector mismating, and is available in surface mount (SMT) and pin-in-paste (PIP) configurations. The connector has a current rating of 3A continuous, operates over a temperature range of -65°C to +105°C, and supports 100 mating cycles with duplex gold/GXT plating (0.76µm) on the mating area and tin on the solder side. It is compatible with wave, vapor-phase, and IR reflow soldering processes, and is RoHS compliant. This connector is ideal for electronic control systems, communication equipment, servers, industrial automation, instrumentation, vending machines, and medical applications where reliable, cost-effective flat cable termination is required.
