The part number **0782141001** (often formatted as **078214-1001**) refers to a specific component manufactured by **Molex**. This part belongs to the **Impact™** series of high-density backplane connectors. --- ### 1. Component Overview The 0782141001 is a **Backplane Power Header**. These are critical in server, storage, and networking hardware to deliver power from a backplane to daughtercards (line cards). | Attribute | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Molex | | **Series** | Impact™ (78214) | | **Component Type** | Power Header (Vertical) | | **Configuration** | 3-Pair, Right-Angle or Vertical mounting options | | **Number of Modules** | 1 Module | | **Mounting Style** | Through Hole - Press-Fit (Compliant Pin) | --- ### 2. Key Technical Specifications Below are the primary electrical and mechanical characteristics of the 078214-1001: * **Current Rating:** Typically supports up to **15.0A to 20.0A per blade** (depending on the specific PCB layout and cooling). * **Voltage (Max):** 250V AC (RMS) / DC. * **Pitch - Mating Interface:** 5.20mm. * **Material:** High-performance thermoplastic (UL 94V-0) with Copper Alloy contacts. * **Plating:** Gold over Nickel at the mating interface; Tin on the termination (press-fit) pins. --- ### 3. Design Features * **Press-Fit Technology:** It uses "eye-of-the-needle" compliant pins. This allows the connector to be pressed into the PCB without soldering, making repairs easier and reducing thermal stress on the board. * **Modular Design:** As part of the Impact™ family, it is designed to sit alongside high-speed signal connectors, providing a unified power/signal solution. * **Enhanced Airflow:** The housing is designed to be slim, allowing for better airflow through the chassis to cool sensitive components. --- ### 4. Common Applications This part is typically found in high-end computing environments: 1. **Data Centers:** Blade servers and high-capacity storage arrays. 2. **Telecommunications:** Hubs, routers, and switches. 3. **Medical Equipment:** High-speed imaging systems requiring stable power delivery. --- ### 5. Cross-Reference & Mating To function, this header must mate with a compatible **Impact™ Receptacle**. * **Mating Part Example:** Molex 78212 series (Right-Angle Receptacles).
