Molence IDC 50 Pin Breakout Board DIN Rail Mount 0.1″ Pitch

Description

Product Overview

The Molence IDC 50 Pin Breakout Board is engineered to provide a reliable and versatile interface for a wide range of electronic projects. Constructed from high‑quality, flame‑retardant ABS plastic, the enclosure offers durability while maintaining a lightweight profile of just 5.29 ounces. The board measures 2.01 x 2.01 x 5.75 inches, making it compact enough to fit into tight enclosures yet large enough to accommodate robust wiring. At its core, the board features a 2 × 25 male dual‑row header that is transformed into 50 individual screw terminal blocks. Each pin is also presented on three solder pads spaced at the industry‑standard 0.1 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, allowing both soldered and solder‑free connections. The design includes built‑in DIN rail clips that snap securely onto standard 35 mm or 32 mm DIN rails, providing a tidy, space‑saving mounting solution for rack‑based systems. Quick‑release ejector latches on the header ensure fast, secure connections and effortless disconnection when maintenance or reconfiguration is required. The screw terminals accept wire gauges from 16 AWG down to 26 AWG, covering a broad spectrum of power and signal applications. This combination of features makes the Molence IDC 50 Pin Breakout Board an ideal bridge between dense connector arrays and user‑friendly terminal access.

Usage

In industrial automation, the board serves as a dependable link between programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and peripheral sensors, allowing technicians to quickly route wiring without the need for specialized tools. In laboratory data acquisition setups, researchers can connect multiple analog and digital channels to a single breakout board, simplifying cable management and reducing the risk of cross‑talk. Hobbyists building Raspberry Pi or Arduino extensions will appreciate the ability to attach 0.1 inch pitch modules directly to the screw terminals, eliminating the hassle of crimped connectors. The DIN rail mounting makes the board a perfect fit for control panels, test rigs, and modular equipment racks where space is at a premium. Because the board supports both soldered and solder‑free connections, it can be used in prototype environments where rapid iteration is essential, as well as in production lines where long‑term reliability is paramount. Whether you are assembling a custom I/O card, integrating a sensor array, or creating a modular DAQ system, the Molence breakout board provides a flexible, secure, and easy‑to‑use platform.

Why Choose Us

Molence has a reputation for delivering precision‑engineered components that meet rigorous industrial standards. Each breakout board undergoes a thorough quality‑control process, including dimensional inspection, electrical continuity testing, and environmental stress screening, ensuring that every unit performs reliably under demanding conditions. The use of flame‑retardant ABS plastic not only meets UL94 V‑0 fire safety criteria but also resists impact and chemical exposure, extending the lifespan of the product in harsh environments. Our engineering team designed the quick‑release latch mechanism to provide a tactile, audible click that confirms a secure connection, reducing the chance of accidental disengagement. The integrated DIN rail clips are pre‑installed, saving time during installation and guaranteeing a consistent mounting experience across all units. Additionally, Molence offers responsive technical support and a comprehensive warranty, giving customers confidence that they are backed by a partner who stands behind the product throughout its lifecycle.

FAQ

What wire sizes can be used with the screw terminals?

The terminals accept solid or stranded wire ranging from 16 AWG (approximately 1.3 mm diameter) down to 26 AWG (approximately 0.4 mm diameter), making them suitable for both power and signal applications.

Can the board be mounted without a DIN rail?

Yes, the board can be installed directly onto a flat surface using the mounting holes provided on the underside, or it can be secured with standard screws for custom enclosures.

Is the board compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO headers?

Absolutely. The 0.1 inch pitch aligns perfectly with Raspberry Pi and other single‑board computers, allowing you to connect the board directly to the GPIO pins or use jumper wires for flexible routing.

How does the quick‑release latch work?

The latch mechanism uses a spring‑loaded lever that snaps into place when the header is inserted, providing a firm connection. To release, simply press the lever to disengage the header without applying excessive force.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Molence offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, and our technical support team is available to assist with any installation or performance questions during that time.
