Micro-Fit 3.0 2-Position Receptacle Housing
The Molex 1718500200 is a 2-circuit receptacle housing from the Micro-Fit 3.0 171850 series, designed for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire power interconnects in space-constrained harness assemblies. The single-row layout and free-hanging (in-line) mounting make it a straightforward choice for a two-wire power tap or sensor harness.
Terminal Position Lock and Crimp Termination
The housing includes a Terminal Position Lock (TPA) feature — a secondary retainer that locks each crimped terminal into its cavity. This prevents back-out during wire flex or vibration, which is the common failure mode on unlatched crimp housings. The TPA also gives a tactile confirmation that the terminal is fully seated before the connector is mated.
