Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Surface PCB Header 2 Contacts 3 mm Pitch 2 Row Shrouded 43045-0218

Molex 43045-0218 Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Surface PCB Header is a 2-contact, 3 mm pitch, 2-row, shrouded connector designed for low to mid-range power distribution applications. This PCB header supports a current rating of up to 5A, making it highly efficient within a compact footprint.

The housing is manufactured from high-temperature thermoplastic material compliant with UL 94V-0 standards, permitting exposure to temperatures up to 265°C during IR reflow soldering processes. Positive latching via a locking ramp on the housing ensures secure and reliable mating; this feature prevents accidental disconnection during operation.

Contacts are made from durable brass with tin plating, and are fully isolated within the housing to minimize electrical arcing. The connectors feature a male contact gender with a mating pin length of 3 mm, and the surface mount design includes solder tabs that secure the header firmly to the PCB.

This Micro-Fit 3.0 header operates in a temperature range from -40°C to 125°C, accommodating diverse industrial and commercial environments. The 2-row dual-row configuration with 3 mm pitch allows for efficient board space usage while maintaining high performance.

Applications span across consumer products such as dryers and refrigerators, telecommunications equipment, gaming terminals, medical devices, solar power systems, and military commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) uses. The connector is designed as a wire-to-board interface with a shrouded housing for enhanced durability and user safety.

High current carrying capacity in a small footprint. High temperature resistant thermoplastic housing suitable for IR reflow soldering. Positive latching mechanism for secure connections. Brass contacts with tin plating ensure reliable electrical performance.
