Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header 3 Contact 3 mm Pitch 1 Row Shrouded 43650-0318

Molex 43650-0318 Micro-Fit 3.0 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header is a specialized connector designed for compact power distribution solutions. It features 3 male contacts arranged in a single row with a 3 mm pitch, housed in a shrouded thermoplastic casing that resists temperatures up to 265°C during IR reflow soldering.

This PCB header is wire-to-board type with a tin-plated brass contact, providing high conductivity and corrosion resistance. It supports currents up to 5A and voltages up to 250V. The design incorporates positive latching with a locking ramp to ensure secure mating and prevent accidental disconnection, enhancing system reliability.

The connector uses solderable metal press-fit retention clips and kinked solder legs to offer strong mechanical retention on the PCB, while SMT compatibility reduces assembly complexities and costs. Its fully isolated dual beam terminals help minimize electrical arcing, increasing performance consistency.

Suitable for various industrial and commercial applications, it is used in sectors such as military commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electronics, solar power systems, consumer electronics, telecommunications, medical devices, and gaming terminals. The robust operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C ensures functionality in diverse environments.

The connector supports up to 5A current in a compact footprint. Constructed with thermoplastic housing for high-temperature durability. Features positive latching to prevent accidental disconnections. Solderable metal press-fit retention clips provide secure PCB retention.

Compatible with through hole mounting and surface-mount technology (SMT). Contact plating is tin over brass for efficient conductivity. Operational temperature range is from -40°C to 105°C suitable for varied environments.

Kinked solder legs increase mechanical stability on PCB. Designed for reliable electrical performance with fully isolated dual beam terminals. Ideal for applications in military COTS, solar power, medical, telecommunications, and data communications.
