Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header 8 Contacts 3 mm Pitch 2 Row Shrouded 43045-0801

Molex 43045-0801 Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header is a dual row shrouded connector featuring 8 male contacts spaced at a 3 mm pitch. Designed for wire-to-board power connections, it supports up to 5A current per contact and operates at voltages up to 250V, making it suitable for a wide array of low to mid power distribution applications.

The connector incorporates a positive latching system with a locking ramp on the housing to ensure a secure mating connection, preventing accidental disconnections during operation. The housing is constructed from high temperature UL 94V-0 rated thermoplastic, which withstands temperatures up to 265°C during IR reflow soldering processes, enhancing manufacturing reliability.

This through-hole mounted PCB header includes snap-in plastic peg PCB locks for secure mechanical attachment to the PCB, streamlining assembly and increasing robustness. The gold-plated brass contacts provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the fully isolated dual beam terminals reduce the risk of electrical arcing, ensuring reliable long-term performance.

The component operates efficiently over a temperature range from -40°C to 125°C, accommodating rigorous industrial and commercial environments. Its 3 mm pitch and dual row configuration enable compact layouts, beneficial for space-constrained electronic designs.
