Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header, 16 Contacts, 3 mm Pitch, 2 Row, Shrouded 43045-1613

Molex 43045-1613 Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header is a compact power distribution connector designed for wire-to-board applications. It features 16 male contacts arranged in 2 rows with a 3 mm pitch, providing efficient current carrying capacity up to 5A with a voltage rating of 250V.

The connector housing is manufactured from high temperature UL 94V-0 Liquid Crystal Polymer thermoplastic, capable of withstanding soldering temperatures up to 265°C during IR reflow. This ensures durability and reliability in demanding manufacturing processes. The shrouded design incorporates positive latching with a locking ramp to provide secure mating and prevent unintended disconnection.

Contacts are made of brass with gold plating for optimum electrical performance and corrosion resistance. The PCB header’s mounting type is through hole, yet it remains compatible with SMT processes, reducing production complexity.

Integrated PCB polarizing pegs ensure precise alignment and positioning on the circuit board, while kinked solder legs enhance retention for stronger mechanical stability. The fully isolated dual beam terminals minimize the risk of arcing, improving operational safety.

This Micro-Fit 3.0 header series is widely used across industrial and commercial sectors such as military commercial off-the-shelf systems, solar power equipment, consumer appliances including dryers and refrigerators, telecommunications devices, gaming terminals, and medical electronics.

This PCB header supports current ratings up to 5A for reliable power distribution. Its housing is made of high temperature thermoplastic, supporting IR reflow soldering up to 265°C. Shrouded and with positive latching housing to ensure secure mating and prevent accidental disconnection.

The connector features gold-plated brass contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. Designed with PCB polarizing pegs and kinked solder legs for accurate positioning and improved retention. Suitable for various applications including military COTS, solar power, telecommunications, and consumer electronics.
