It's a board-to-wire interconnect: the male pins mate with a Micro-Fit 3.0 receptacle housing (crimp terminals sold separately) to deliver power or signal between a PCB and a harness. The 3.00 mm pitch and 3.00 mm row spacing give enough creepage for the 600 V rating without forcing an oversized board footprint — it's a common choice for automotive, industrial, and telecom PSU boards where you need a rugged, field-serviceable connection. ## Key Features That Drive the Fit The 8 A per circuit rating at 600 V means each pin carries bus-level current — sized for a main DC rail or a moderate power distribution line, not a low-level signal. The tin-plated mating contacts (60.0 µin thick) are rated for a solid number of mating cycles in a controlled environment; if your application sees frequent reconnection or lives in a corrosive atmosphere, consider the gold-plated sibling in the same series. The 4-wall shrouding with a locking ramp protects the pins from damage and gives an audible click when fully mated — no special tool needed to confirm retention on site. Board lock and board guide are both present. The board lock holds the header in place during wave solder and resists the shear force from cable strain; the board guide aligns the header during placement so the pins don't get bent. For a technician re-pinning a harness, this means the header won't walk out of the board under vibration — a common failure point on unkeyed headers. ## Mounting and Termination Through-hole mounting with kinked, tin-plated solder tails (0.125\" post length). The kinked pins provide a press-fit retention in the plated through-hole before soldering.","metaTitle":"Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 430450824 Header, 8 Pos, 3mm, 8A","metaDescription":"Molex 430450824 Micro-Fit 3.0 header, 8-position dual-row, 3.00mm pitch, tin-plated contacts rated 8A at 600V, shrouded with locking ramp, board lock.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Micro-Fit 3.0 43045","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":[],"specifications":{"Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","title":"430450824","Series":"Micro-Fit 3.0 43045","Package":"Tray","Features":"Board Guide, Board Lock","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Kinked Pin, Solder","description":"CONN HEADER VERT 8POS 3MM","Applications":"Automotive, General Purpose, Industrial, Medical, Telecommunications","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Locking Ramp","Number of Rows":"2","Pitch - Mating":"0.118\\\" (3.00mm)","Voltage Rating":"600V","Contact Material":"Brass","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"0.390\\\" (9.91mm)","Base Product Number":"043045","Insulation Material":"Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), Glass Filled","Number of Positions":"8","Row Spacing - Mating":"0.118\\\" (3.00mm)","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.125\\\" (3.18mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"8A","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"60.0µin (1.52µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.22","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.22000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.89300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":80,"price":"$1.56413","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1440,"price":"$1.23488","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2880,"price":"$1.15255","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/2cd00626506f7b62e7853978b7a4cb8e.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/430450824/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does Molex 430450824 have a board lock?","answer":"Yes, it includes both a board lock and a board guide.
