The Molex 0511460500 is a 5-circuit, single-row receptacle from the PanelMate 51146 series, built for wire-to-wire or wire-to-board harness applications where a compact 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch keeps the connector footprint small. It is a free-hanging inline housing with a friction lock to retain the mated pair against moderate vibration — the lock engages without tools and releases with a deliberate pull. The natural PBT insulator lets wire insulation colors show through for quick harness inspection. Contacts are not included.
Pitch and position count — what drives the fit
The 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch is the tightest in the PanelMate 51146 family, which means the connector occupies minimal board or harness real estate for a 5-circuit interconnect. The single-row layout keeps the wire exit in one plane, simplifying routing in space-constrained enclosures. The 5 positions match a 5-circuit BOM line exactly — no spare cavities, no placeholder terminals needed.
Active lifecycle — no last-time-buy pressure
It can be specified into multi-year production runs without the risk of a sudden discontinuation.
