Product details

The natural PA66 housing carries a locking ramp that provides positive retention in vibration-prone environments like automotive underhood harnesses, industrial control panels, and off-road equipment.

Key Design Decisions for the Harness Builder

Crimp termination means each terminal is individually inserted and extracted with a hand tool — no soldering, no board footprint. The free-hanging mount allows the connector to float in the harness, absorbing strain that would otherwise transfer to the terminal crimp. The PA66 insulation material provides good dielectric strength and chemical resistance for the temperature range, with UL94 V-2 flammability typical for this nylon grade.

The Bulk packaging suits production runs where the housing is kitted with terminals before assembly.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy Molex 0050842040 in bulk?
