Product details

7.40mm pitch and 1200V — the clearance story

The 2018431040: The 0.291" (7.40mm) pitch on this single-row header is the mechanical enabler for the 1200V voltage rating — wide contact spacing prevents flashover between adjacent pins in high-potential circuits. This is not a dense signal connector; the pitch and voltage pair it for power distribution in aerospace, automotive, industrial, and medical equipment where isolation margins matter.

Right-angle through-hole and latch lock for vibration duty

The latch lock holds the mating half under shock and vibration — a requirement for automotive and industrial harnesses.

PEI insulation and 150°C ceiling

Polyetherimide (PEI) housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating supports the -40°C to 150°C operating range — this header is specified for under-hood automotive, high-temp industrial cabinets, and medical sterilization cycles.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pin pitch of Molex 2018431040?

The mating pitch is 0.291" (7.40mm), single row, 4 positions loaded. This wide pitch supports the 1200V voltage rating and is not compatible with standard 2.54mm or 5.08mm headers.

Does 2018431040 have a latch lock?

Yes, the fastening type is Latch Lock. It provides positive retention with the mating MultiCat receptacle, suitable for vibration-prone environments like automotive and industrial applications.
