The 3.00 mm pitch sets the PCB footprint and the per-contact current ceiling — at the rated current the temperature rise stays within the LCP housing limit. The 15 µinch gold on the mating face gives a solid 500-cycle minimum mating life, fine for field-service or periodic reconnects. The shrouded 4-wall design protects the pins during handling and guides the mating receptacle into alignment. A locking ramp on the header snaps into the receptacle housing — once mated, the pair stays together under vibration or cable yank without a secondary latch. ## Board fit and termination details The square 0.118\" pitch pins accept standard Micro-Fit+ crimp terminals (20-24 AWG, not included). ## Sourcing and lifecycle status The 2-position variant is the lowest circuit count in the Micro-Fit+ 216571 series — if your design needs more circuits, the series offers 3 through 24 positions with the same pitch and contact system.","metaTitle":"Molex 2165712002 Micro-Fit+ Header, 2-Pos, 3.00mm Pitch","metaDescription":"Molex 2165712002 Micro-Fit+ 216571 single-row header, 2 circuits, 3.00mm pitch, 15µin gold mating contacts, through-hole solder, locking ramp.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Micro-Fit+ 216571","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Molex","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"Micro-Fit+ 216571","Package":"Tray","Features":"Board Guide, Glow Wire Compliant","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"-","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Locking Ramp","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.118\\\" (3.00mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"600VAC/DC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"0.390\\\" (9.91mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"216571","Insulation Material":"Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), Glass Filled","Number of Positions":"2","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.125\\\" (3.18mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"Varies by Wire Gauge","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Gold","Contact Length - Mating":"-","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"-","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"15.0µin (0.38µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.2300","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.23000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.01700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":288,"price":"$0.84778","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1152,"price":"$0.67824","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5184,"price":"$0.59345","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10080,"price":"$0.56378","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/b16dee9a42061f939c308da2fc891e9f.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pin pitch of Molex 2165712002?","answer":"0.118\" (3.00 mm) pitch, single row.

The difference is in the contact plating — 2165712002 has 15 µinch gold on the mating face, while 2165712001 uses tin plating. Gold buys higher mating cycle life and better corrosion resistance in humid environments."},{"question":"Can I use 2165712002 as a replacement for other Micro-Fit+ headers?","answer":"Only if the circuit count, pitch, and orientation match exactly. This is a 2-position, single-row, through-hole header with a locking ramp. It replaces another 2-position Micro-Fit+ header with the same termination style and locking feature. It will not replace a 3-position or a surface-mount variant."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/molex/2165712002","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/molex/2165712002 when reusing this data.
