Molex Picoflex 90327 Cable —Low Profile Ribbon Assemblies for Your Equipment
A Picoflex 90327 cable provides a low-profile ribbon connection where board space and cable access need careful planning. BespokeCable supplies custom assemblies for this interface, with the circuit count, length, and routing selected around the equipment rather than a fixed catalog lead.
We can supply original Molex connectors or review a compatible alternative with you. Start with the header and receptacle references, or send photographs of the existing connection. We can help confirm the cable details needed for an accurate quotation.

The Receptacle and Header as a Pair
90327 identifies the Picoflex IDT cable receptacle. It is a cable-mounted component, while the compatible header sits on the board. Choosing them as a pair helps establish the installed height and access needed around the connection.
The family includes multiple circuit counts and component variations. We work from the complete references so the proposed cable fits the selected header rather than relying on a general Picoflex description.
A Low Profile Route With Room for Service
The connector may fit under a cover but leave too little room to remove the cable. Consider the mated height, nearby components, and the path your hand or service tool will take. These details matter in equipment that will be opened after installation.
Show the first bend and any support point on the route drawing. We can discuss length and exit direction without forcing the ribbon to turn sharply at the receptacle.
A Source Option That Matches Your Purchasing Policy
Choose original Molex parts when your design calls for them. Where alternatives are permitted, we can discuss a separate proposal for evaluation. Include the component identity in the quotation and the approved BOM.
Ribbon gauge and insulation must suit the actual IDT contact. Keeping the connector and wire combination together helps preserve the termination that was approved during sampling.
Only when listed in the quotation. If you need them, provide the header reference and quantity alongside the cable requirement.
The family spans that range, but a particular component is selected by its full part number. Send the required quantity so we can discuss availability and the matching interface.
Treat it as a component change. The proposed finish must suit the mating part and application, and you should approve the change before it appears in production.
Yes, we can discuss kits containing clearly identified assemblies. Use the cable references and quantities for the kit, since similar housings may conceal different wiring or lengths.
Include the color requirement with the full component reference. Availability depends on the selected part; appearance should not drive an unapproved change to the mating interface.

Developing a Picoflex Cable for a Shallow Enclosure
A low-profile connector is useful when the whole cable route can take advantage of it. For a shallow enclosure, key dimensions often include the cable exit and the space above nearby components, not just the connector height in a catalog.
Look at the Mated Assembly
Place the intended receptacle and board header into the enclosure model or a physical trial. Include any retention features and the external dimensions of the ribbon termination. This gives a more realistic picture than comparing unmated connector heights.
Allow the Cable to Be Installed Without Strain
If the cable has to be connected before a board is secured, the temporary assembly position may need extra reach. If the cover remains attached during servicing, the open-cover position may control the required length. Tell us which operation determines the route so the assembly is not sized only for the closed product.
For continuous movement, describe the motion separately. Low connector height does not establish repeated-flex capability for the ribbon.
Keep the Design Choice Separate From Family Comparisons
A Micro-MaTch ribbon assembly or Milli-Grid assembly may be relevant while choosing a new connector system. Don’t treat either as a Picoflex replacement without changing and qualifying the corresponding interface.
Get a Quote From the Installation Details
Send the endpoint references, circuit count, and an approximate route or finished length. Include any fixed BOM requirements and the quantities you are considering. If access beneath the cover is the difficult part, a photo or section view helps us focus the cable discussion on that constraint.
Once you approve a sample, identify the complete cable by its assembly reference. The 90327 component number alone does not capture the length, other endpoint, or wiring.
