Wire-to-Board Receptacle for SL Series Harnesses
Termination is crimp-style, accepting the SL female socket contacts. The housing is free-hanging (in-line), meaning it floats in the harness rather than locking to a panel — typical for cable assemblies that route to a board-mounted header.
Pitch and Position Count — Matching the BOM Line
If the BOM calls for a 6-position SL receptacle, the 0050579006 is the correct housing; the matching board-mount header is a 6-position SL pin header at the same pitch.
No last-time-buy notice or phase-out is on record.
Crimp Termination and Contact Ordering
This housing accepts Molex SL female crimp terminals (sold separately). The crimp termination allows field-assembled harnesses without soldering — strip, crimp, insert until the terminal latches. The free-hanging design means the receptacle floats in the harness; strain relief depends on the wire bundle or an optional SL strain-relief cover, not on a panel lock.
