Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header 2 Contact 3 mm Pitch 2 Row Shrouded 43045-0202

Molex 43045-0202 Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header provides a compact and reliable solution for power distribution on printed circuit boards. This dual-row header features 2 contacts with a 3 mm pitch, designed for wire-to-board connections in low to medium power electronic equipment.

Constructed with high-temperature UL 94V-0 Liquid Crystal Polymer housing, this header can endure IR reflow soldering processes up to 265°C, ensuring durable mounting and assembly quality. The brass contacts are gold-plated for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance, suitable for demanding industrial and commercial environments.

The header's right-angle orientation facilitates efficient PCB layout design and cable routing. Positive latching mechanisms with locking ramps ensure secure mating, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection even in vibration-prone applications.

Plastic snap-in peg PCB locks stabilize the connector mechanically, allowing secure mounting to the board without additional fixtures. The fully isolated dual beam terminals reduce arcing, increasing electrical safety and contact reliability over prolonged use.

Operating across a broad temperature range from -40°C to 125°C, the header is suitable for rugged industrial conditions as well as consumer appliances and telecommunications equipment. Its 5A current capacity in a small footprint supports compact device designs requiring dependable power connectors.

Typical applications include military commercial off-the-shelf systems, solar power installations, consumer household appliances such as dryers and refrigerators, data communication devices including routers and servers, medical instruments, gaming terminals, and telecom infrastructure.

Set in the well-regarded Micro-Fit 3.0 series, this PCB header balances compact sizing with high current handling, making it ideal for demanding electrical and electronic assembly projects requiring safety, efficiency, and resilience.

This header supports a current rating of 5A suitable for low to mid power applications. It is made with a high-temperature thermoplastic housing that withstands soldering temperatures up to 265°C. The right-angle orientation and through-hole mounting ensure reliable PCB connection and mechanical stability.

Gold-plated brass contacts ensure excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. Positive latching with locking ramps prevents accidental disconnection during use. The dual beam terminals provide full isolation to minimize arcing and improve electrical reliability.
