The Molex 0348944006 is an 8-circuit sealed receptacle from the Mini50 34894 series. It's a free-hanging (in-line) female socket connector with a 1.80mm pitch and 2.06mm row spacing — that tight pitch is the hallmark of the Mini50 platform, designed to pack more circuits into the same board or harness footprint as a standard 0.100" header.
Sealed and CPA — What That Means on the Line
The seal keeps moisture and dust out of the cavity — important for engine-bay or washdown-area harnesses where an unsealed connector would corrode over time. The CPA is a secondary lock that snaps over the primary latch; you push it home after the connector is fully mated, and it prevents the latch from backing off under vibration. If you've ever chased an intermittent signal that turned out to be a connector half a turn loose, you'll appreciate the CPA.
As a receptacle, it accepts the matching Mini50 male header (sold separately). Termination is crimp — you use the appropriate Mini50 female crimp terminal (Molex part 560124 or similar) and a hand or auto crimp tool. No soldering, no board mount — this is a pure harness-side connector that wires into the loom.
