The Molex 0351800229 is a 2-circuit plug housing from the 35180 series, designed as a wire-to-wire or panel-mount interconnect for harness assemblies.
The locking ramp fastening type means this housing is built for applications where the mated pair sees mechanical shock or cable tug — think engine harnesses, industrial control cabinets, or power equipment where a loose connector means a downtime event. The -40°C to 110°C operating range covers both cold-start conditions and underhood heat soak, so the polycarbonate/PET insulation stays dimensionally stable across the temperature swing.
You select the crimp terminal (female blade socket or male blade) that matches your wire gauge and current requirement, then terminate and insert into the housing cavities. The 2-position count is deliberate: it fits applications needing exactly one power pair or one signal pair without wasting cavity space in a larger housing.
Stacking and Panel Mounting
The housing supports top-to-bottom and side-to-side stacking, meaning multiple 2-circuit housings can be ganged into a multi-row array on a panel or bracket without custom tooling. Panel mount is the primary mounting method — the housing clips into a rectangular cutout, and the locking ramp secures the mating half. The natural colour (unpigmented PC/PET) is standard for this series; colour is not a selection parameter but confirms it is the base material without UV stabiliser additives.
The BOM line is straightforward: this housing plus the matching crimp terminals and the mating receptacle housing.
