The locking ramp holds the mated pair together under vibration — common in power distribution harnesses inside industrial cabinets or vehicle electrical centers. ## What You Need to Order Separately Contacts are not included with this housing. You order the male or female crimp terminals separately — the housing accepts either gender, so pick the terminal that matches your wire gauge and the mating half. The crimp termination means you need the right applicator or hand tool for the MLX terminal family; if your shop already runs Molex.084 terminals, the tooling changeover is zero. ## Mating Half and System Fit This receptacle mates with the corresponding MLX 42022 male header or plug housing that uses the same locking ramp interface. The 2-position count matches a 2-circuit BOM line — confirm the mating half also carries 2 positions and the same.084 centerline pitch before committing. The free-hanging inline mount lets you route the harness without a board anchor, which saves a connector position on the PCB if you are wiring directly to a panel-mate.","metaTitle":"Molex MLX 42022 0050842020, 2-Position Receptacle Housing","metaDescription":"Molex 0050842020 MLX 42022 2-position receptacle housing, natural PA66, locking ramp, -55°C to 105°C.
