Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Surface PCB Header 16 Contacts 3 mm Pitch 2 Row Shrouded 43045-1618

Molex 43045-1618 Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Surface PCB Header features 16 male contacts arranged in two rows with a 3 mm pitch spacing, designed for wire-to-board connections. It provides a reliable, high current capability of up to 5A within a compact footprint, suitable for various electronic applications that require secure power and signal distribution.

The connector housing is constructed from high-temperature thermoplastic material that meets UL 94V-0 standards, enabling endurance of temperatures up to 265°C during IR reflow soldering processes. The shrouded design and positive latching mechanism ensure secure mating and prevent accidental disconnection, making it ideal for environments demanding vibration resistance and secure electrical connections.

Solder tabs on the connector facilitate strong and reliable surface mounting on printed circuit boards, enhancing mechanical retention. The contacts are manufactured from brass with tin plating, providing a balance of electrical performance and cost efficiency. The fully isolated dual beam terminals incorporated within the housing reduce electrical arcing and improve overall contact reliability.

This PCB header is widely applicable across multiple industrial and commercial sectors including military commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, renewable solar power systems, household consumer appliances such as dryers and refrigerators, telecommunications equipment, data communication hardware like routers and servers, medical devices, and gaming terminals.

Compact power connector system with a high current rating of 5A in a small form factor. Durable thermoplastic housing certified UL 94V-0 for high temperature IR reflow soldering. Positive locking ramp for secure, vibration-resistant mating connection.

Solder tabs enable robust surface mount to PCB applications. Fully isolated, dual beam brass contacts with tin plating for electric performance and durability. Designed for broad applications including military, consumer appliances, solar power, telecom, and medical.
