Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Right Angle Through Hole Shrouded PCB Header, 18 Contacts, 3 mm Pitch, 2 Row, Brass 43045-1800

Molex 43045-1800 Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Right Angle Through Hole Shrouded PCB Header is a dual-row inline connector with 18 male contacts spaced at a 3 mm pitch. This connector is engineered for wire-to-board applications delivering efficient power transmission with a compact size and high current-carrying capacity of up to 5A.

The connector system features a shrouded design that ensures positive latching through a locking ramp mechanism, preventing accidental disconnections during operation. Its housing is made from high-temperature UL 94V-0 Liquid Crystal Polymer, capable of withstanding up to 265°C during IR reflow soldering, guaranteeing durability and performance in demanding PCB assembly processes.

The contacts are brass with tin plating, fully isolated inside the housing to minimize arcing. The PCB header uses a through hole mounting technique with solder termination, supported by snap-in plastic peg PCB locks that secure the connector firmly to the PCB.

Operating temperature range is from -40°C to 105°C, supporting diverse environmental conditions. The connector is rated for voltages up to 250V and incorporates a 3 mm row pitch in a right angle orientation to optimize PCB layout space.

Applications for this Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series PCB header include military commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), solar power systems, household consumer products like dryers and refrigerators, data communications equipment such as routers and servers, medical devices, telecommunications, and gaming terminals.

This PCB header features a robust brass contact with tin plating. Designed with a 2-row, right angle configuration. The shrouded housing provides secure mating and prevents accidental disconnections. Mount type is through hole with solder termination for reliable PCB attachment.

Rated for 5A current capacity and 250V voltage operation. Operating temperature range spans from -40°C to 105°C. Constructed with high-temperature UL 94V-0 Liquid Crystal Polymer housing suitable for IR reflow soldering.

Incorporates snap-in plastic peg PCB locks for mechanical stability. Fully isolated dual beam terminals reduce arcing and improve electrical performance.
