Molex, Mini-Fit Jr Female Connector Housing, 4.2mm Pitch, 18 Way, 2 Row

Mini-Fit Junior 4.2 mm pitch crimp receptacle and plug housings which form part of the Mini-Fit Junior power connectors interconnection system. Mini-Fit Junior power connectors are able to handle up to 13A per circuit making them ideal for use in high current applications. These Mini-Fit Junior crimp housings have fully isolated terminals for protection against, debris, arcing and damage caused by mishandling. The housings incorporate polarization and keying features to prevent misalignment and mismating. A positive locking mechanism consisting of an easy to operate thumb latch provides a secure connection with the mating connector. This positive locking mechanism prevents accidental unmating caused by excessive shock or vibration. An audible click indicates that the connector is fully mated. These Mini-Fit Junior 4.2 mm plug and receptacle housings are available with a UL94V-0 or UL94V-2 housing material, a range of contact configurations and accept standard Mini-Fit and Mini-Fit Plus crimp terminals

• Can handle Up to 13A current per circuit
• Fully isolated terminals
• Polarization and keying to prevent mismating
• Positive locking mechanism for secure mating connection
• Audible click for mating confirmation

Mini-Fit Junior power connectors are ideal for use in high current, high density wire to wire and wire to board applications that require design flexibility. Applications include consumer white goods, office equipment, industrial automation equipment, industrial networks, rack-mount servers, routers and switches.

Opt for this connector housing from Molex to safely link crimp terminals to your PCB. It features nylon housing that's durable and can withstand impact, so it's a practical choice for use in harsh environments where rough handling is likely. As this material is also an insulator, it can help protect operators from the risk of electric shocks. Compact dimensions of 39 (length) x 14.1 (width) x 19.6mm (depth) mean you can use it in setups with limited space. A pitch of 4.2mm provides a safe distance to stop conductors from touching each other, preventing short circuits. A connector housing like this is a common component in personal and industrial computer systems.

• Rating of 13A for high-current applications
• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C for safe use in challenging conditions
• 18 contacts for multi-circuit signal transmission
• Positive locking mechanism prevents accidental unmating due to shock or vibration

• Automotive equipment
• Agricultural machinery

This connector is flame-retardant and will stop burning within 60 seconds, so it won't contribute to a workplace fire.
