Panel-Mount Plug Housing for Wire Harnesses
The Molex 0430201600 is a 16-circuit plug housing from the Micro-Fit 3.0 43020 series, designed as the wire-side half of a wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnect. Black polyamide (PA) nylon, halogen-free, forms the housing — a material choice that meets UL94 V-0 flame-rating requirements for equipment inside enclosures. The panel-mount snap-in feature allows the plug to be secured to a chassis cutout before the harness is connected, simplifying assembly in tight spaces.
This plug housing mates with any Micro-Fit 3.0 dual-row receptacle header of the same 16-circuit count and 3.00 mm pitch — typically the 43025 series headers (e.g., 430251600). The correct crimp terminals are the Molex 43030 series male pins (e.g., 430300001 for 20-24 AWG wire). Confirm the wire gauge and terminal finish (tin vs. gold) against the application's current and cycle-life requirements.
