Molex MicroClasp Female Connector Housing 3 Way 1 Row Straight, 2 mm Pitch, Nylon, Cable Mount 51382-0300

Molex 51382-0300 is a MicroClasp series female connector housing designed for wire-to-board applications, offering a reliable cable mount for a straight, single-row configuration with three contacts. Its 2 mm pitch is engineered for compact PCB layouts where space efficiency is crucial. The connector housing is constructed from durable nylon material, providing optimal mechanical strength and electrical insulation for extended service life in electronics assemblies.

A key advantage of the MicroClasp connector is its inner positive lock system, which is specifically developed to provide latch protection and secure retention. This locking mechanism is accompanied by an audible mating click for tactile feedback during assembly. The terminal design features low insertion and withdrawal forces, minimizing wear and simplifying installation or maintenance. With a two-point contact system, users benefit from enhanced contact stability and reduced electrical resistance.

This housing is capable of carrying up to 3.0 A current in its compact footprint, making it suitable for high-density power or signal connections. Users in industrial, electronics, laboratory, and commercial environments rely on its PCB space-saving attributes to keep their systems scalable and efficient. The straight orientation further facilitates quick integration in wire harnesses and automated insertion processes, while the cable mount design ensures compatibility with MicroClasp wire-to-board receptacles.

Additional features include terminal protection, secure retention, and easy mating or unmating processes. The nylon housing meets UL 94V-0 standards for flame retardance, maximizing safety in demanding applications. With its precise dimensions of 9.4 mm length and 6.95 mm width, this connector housing fits seamlessly into tightly packed boards, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of electronic device manufacturing and repair operations.

Industrial use cases include PCB assembly, control panels, instrument interfaces, communications equipment, automation devices, and other applications requiring robust, high-density connectors. Molex MicroClasp connectors are a preferred choice among engineers for their reliability, modularity, and secure electrical performance.
