Molex SL 70400 0014600031 — 3-Position IDC Receptacle, 0.100" Pitch
The Molex SL 70400 0014600031 is a 3-circuit, single-row receptacle designed for mass-termination to 24 AWG discrete or ribbon cable via IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact). The closed-end housing prevents daisy-chain pass-through, so each receptacle terminates one cable end.
This receptacle is rated for 24 AWG wire only (solid or stranded), and the closed-end design means the cable stops at the back of the housing. For ribbon cable, a common IDC press (e.g., hand or bench tool) mass-terminates all three positions in one stroke. The 150.0 µin tin plating is heavy for IDC — thick enough to handle the wiping action during termination and maintain contact resistance over temperature cycling.
This receptacle mates with Molex SL series pin headers (e.g., 70543 or 70545 series) at the same 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. The 3-position count is the smallest in the SL 70400 IDC receptacle line — a common choice for sensor or limit-switch harnesses where only two or three signal wires are needed.
