The 4.20mm pitch is the same as the Mini-Fit Jr. and Mini-Fit BMI header families, meaning the mating header footprint is identical — a 24-circuit Mini-Fit BMI header with 4.20mm pitch drops into the same hole pattern. The solder tails are 100µinch tin, which wets well in lead-free wave solder profiles. Brass contact material with square contact shape is typical for Mini-Fit signal contacts; the current rating is series-limited rather than contact-limited. In a 24-position dual-row configuration at 25°C ambient, the per-contact current ceiling is determined by the 4.20mm pitch and the PA66 housing's thermal rise. ## Environmental and Compliance Profile Applications listed include general-purpose, industrial, medical, and telecommunications — the temperature range and V-0 rating support equipment inside enclosures where flame retardance is required. This is a through-hole solder receptacle — it mates with a Mini-Fit BMI 42385 series header (male pin header) with the same 24-position, dual-row, 4.20mm pitch layout. The natural insulation color and 0.446\" insulation height are visual identifiers on the board. The connector ships in tray packaging — not tape-and-reel, so plan for hand or tube feeding if using automated placement.","metaTitle":"Molex 0015247243 Mini-Fit BMI 24-Position Receptacle","metaDescription":"Molex 0015247243 24-position female socket header, 4.20mm pitch, gold plating, through-hole, board lock.

A 24-position dual-row receptacle with tin mating finish (instead of gold) would be a cost-reduction alternative if your application does not require the 30µinch gold for high mating-cycle life.
