Dual-Row 6-Position Receptacle Housing for Free-Hanging Harnesses
The Molex 0982980005 is a 6-position, dual-row receptacle housing from the MOX 98298 series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board connections. The latch holder fastening type locks the housing to the mating header — a detail that matters when the harness sees vibration in an automotive or industrial enclosure. The glass-filled PBT housing handles -40°C to 105°C, so it's at home underhood or inside a cabinet that cycles hot and cold.
Mating and Termination
This receptacle housing accepts female socket crimp terminals (sold separately — confirm the correct terminal part number for your wire gauge). The latch holder engages with the corresponding header's locking ramp, giving you an audible click when fully mated. The free-hanging mount means no board footprint is needed — the connector lives in the wire bundle, not on the PCB.
