Molex MicroClasp Female Connector Housing 10 Way, 2 mm Pitch, Single Row, Nylon, Straight Cable Mount 51382-1000

The Molex 51382-1000 MicroClasp Female Connector Housing is a precision-engineered connector designed for wire-to-board applications that demand high reliability and robust performance. Featuring 2 mm pitch, this single row, 10-way housing is constructed from durable nylon material and incorporates advanced design elements for secure and efficient connections.

As part of the MicroClasp series, the housing utilizes a unique inner positive lock mechanism to ensure secure retention and latch protection. The audible click upon mating provides additional confirmation for users during installation. Its low insertion and withdrawal force terminal is intended for easy, repeatable plug-in and removal, making assembly and servicing processes more efficient.

This connector housing is rated for up to 3.0A per contact, making it suitable for various medium-power signal and control circuits. The straight cable mount orientation allows for neat and space-saving cable management, particularly in compact equipment designs, while the single-row configuration minimizes board footprint. A housing lance system further reinforces terminal protection and secure retention, supporting reliable electrical continuity.

Molex’s MicroClasp housing is compatible with MicroClasp wire-to-board receptacle systems, simplifying the creation of custom harnesses for electronics, instrumentation, industrial control, and automation. It is especially well suited for PCB assemblies in consumer electronics, automotive controls, communication devices, and industrial process equipment where high connection density and mechanical robustness are required.

Constructed in compliance with UL 94V-0 standards for flame retardancy, the nylon housing provides improved resistance to environmental stresses. With a compact length of 23.4 mm and width of 6.95 mm, this housing is designed for installations where space savings are crucial. Terminal protection features and the housing lance system further enhance connection reliability and long-term performance.

Industrial use cases include electronics assembly, PCB production, control unit wiring, and device manufacturing in environments where repeated mating cycles and secure electrical performance are essential. The MicroClasp series provides essential benefits such as latch protection, easy unmating and secure retention, and high-current capability within small form factors.

High-quality nylon material ensures insulation and electrical safety. 10-way, single-row configuration saves PCB space and enables high-density connections. 2 mm pitch is ideal for compact wire-to-board applications. Low insertion force aids fast and reliable assembly.

Inner positive lock mechanism secures mating and provides audible feedback. Straight cable mount orientation simplifies harness layout. Supports up to 3.0A current per contact in signal or power circuits. Housing lance system provides enhanced terminal protection and secure electrical continuity.
