Housing Specs and Fit
The Molex 0512160600 is a 6-circuit, single-row receptacle housing from the 51216 series, on a 2.00 mm pitch. The 2.00 mm pitch gives a compact footprint for signal-level circuits while keeping enough wall thickness between cavities for reliable terminal retention.
This is a crimp-and-poke housing: strip the wire, crimp the socket terminal, insert it into the cavity until the latch clicks. The single-row layout makes wire routing straightforward in tight harness runs. Confirm the header's mounting style — through-hole vertical or right-angle — matches your board layout before specifying the pair.
