The Molex 0009508053 is a 5-position receptacle housing from the KK396 series (also grouped under 41695), built for free-hanging in-line wire-to-board connections. The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch is the defining footprint dimension — it mates with the corresponding KK396 header pins at the same pitch, so the board layout is locked once you spec this housing. This is the shell only — the crimp terminals are ordered separately (see the note on contacts).
Contacts Not Included — The Procurement Reality
That means the housing ships empty — you must source the matching KK396 crimp terminals separately to populate the 5 cavities. The contact termination is crimp, and the contact type is non-gendered, which in the KK396 system means the same terminal fits both the plug and receptacle housing. Ordering the housing without the terminals is a common rookie mistake that stops a harness build cold. The mating plug is the corresponding KK396 header — typically a vertical or right-angle pin header with the same 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch and 5 positions.
The product status is Active. The base product number is 000950.
