Molex 2478 Series Female Crimp Terminal, Gold Plated Brass, 24 AWG Min, 18 AWG Max, 5A Current 08-56-0105

Molex 08-56-0105 is a female crimp terminal from the 2478 series, engineered for power and wire-to-board electronic applications. It is crafted from brass with gold plating for enhanced electrical performance and corrosion resistance. This terminal supports wire gauges from 24 AWG minimum up to 18 AWG maximum, handling a continuous current rating of 5 amperes.

The crimp terminal is designed to mate with Molex KK 396 connector housings, making it an integral component in computing, networking, automotive, and medical equipment assemblies. Its dual cantilever spring contact ensures reliable and secure connectivity by maintaining firm contact pressure with the male pin, reinforced by a locking tang mechanism that prevents terminal backout.

The gold plated contact area assures low contact resistance (maximum 6 milliohms), minimizing voltage drops and power losses. The crimp termination technique provides a robust mechanical and electrical connection, able to withstand vibrations typically found in automotive or industrial environments.

Operating within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C, the terminal performs reliably across typical ambient conditions encountered in industrial and commercial applications. The use of brass contact material offers a balance between mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, important for durability and performance.

This product is RoHS compliant and designed for high-reliability applications, including telecommunications, automotive wiring harnesses, medical instrumentation, and general electronic equipment. Installation involves proper wire preparation followed by the use of Molex recommended crimp tools to ensure optimal connection integrity.
