Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Surface PCB Header, 8 Contact(s), 3 mm Pitch, 2 Row, Shrouded 43045-0819

Molex 43045-0819 Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Surface PCB Header is a high-performance wire-to-board connector designed for low to mid-range power distribution with a compact footprint. It features 8 male contacts arranged in two rows at a 3 mm pitch, enabling dense PCB layouts without compromising reliability.

The connector housing is made from a high temperature thermoplastic material that complies with UL 94V-0 standards and withstands up to 265°C during IR reflow soldering, ensuring stability and performance in manufacturing processes.

Gold-plated brass contacts provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The shrouded design, including a positive latching locking ramp, offers secure mate retention and prevents accidental disconnection, critical for industrial and commercial applications.

The PCB header utilizes solder tabs for robust mechanical fixation and electrical connection to surface mount PCBs. It supports continuous current up to 5A at 250V voltage rating, suitable for power-sensitive systems. Operating temperature range is from -40°C to 125°C, making it fit for harsh operating conditions.

This Micro-Fit 3.0 connector is widely used in military-grade Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) equipment, renewable energy (solar power systems), household appliances like dryers and refrigerators, data communications including routers and servers, medical devices, telecommunications equipment, and gaming terminals.

Features 8 gold-plated brass contacts arranged in 2 rows with 3mm pitch for efficient board layout. Constructed with high temperature thermoplastic housing for durability and IR reflow soldering compatibility. Supports up to 5A current capacity for robust power distribution.

Shrouded design ensures secure mating and prevents accidental disconnections. Solder tabs provide strong mechanical and electrical connection to PCB surfaces. Operates reliably between -40°C and 125°C temperatures. Male contact gender with 3 mm mating pin length.

Ideal for military, solar power, consumer electronics, data communications, medical, telecom, and gaming industries. Discover more electronic connectors and PCB Headers at EnvMart for your industrial and commercial projects.
