Mini50 Sealed Receptacle Housing for 16-Circuit Harnesses
The Molex 0348948001 is a 16-circuit receptacle housing from the Mini50 34894 series, designed for sealed wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnects in space-constrained automotive and industrial harnesses. It uses a 1.80 mm pitch in a 2-row layout, which keeps the connector width narrow while still offering 16 positions for signal or low-power circuits. Two features define this housing: it is sealed, and it includes Connector Position Assurance (CPA). The seal protects the terminals against moisture ingress in environments like under-hood or exposed chassis locations. The CPA is a secondary lock that confirms the connector is fully mated and prevents accidental unmate under vibration — a requirement in automotive and off-road equipment applications. Termination is crimp, which allows field-serviceable harness assembly with the correct tooling.
The CPA feature then slides over the latch to lock the pair — if the CPA cannot be engaged, the connector is not fully seated. Crimp terminals for this housing are the Mini50 female socket contacts, ordered under a separate part number. The 1.80 mm pitch and 2-row layout define the cavity spacing.
