The Molex 2065230241 is a 24-circuit receptacle housing from the Mini50 206523 series, designed for wire-to-board interconnects in space-constrained automotive and industrial harnesses. It uses a 2.00 mm pitch with matching 2.00 mm row spacing across two rows — the same compact grid as the mating Mini50 header, so the board footprint stays tight. The housing is free-hanging (in-line), terminated by crimping the separate female socket contacts into the wires, then inserting them into the cavity.
Contacts are not included — plan the BOM accordingly
The housing ships empty. The spec note is explicit: Contacts Not Included. For a 24-circuit harness, that means 24 terminals plus the wire and the mating header. Factor the terminal lead time into the build schedule; the housing alone is only half the interconnect.
The 2.00 mm pitch and 2.00 mm row spacing are identical, giving a square 2.00 mm grid across the two rows. For the board layout engineer, that means tighter routing density and a smaller keep-out zone, but the mating header must also be a Mini50 2.00 mm pitch part — a standard 0.100-inch header will not mate. The 24 positions in two rows give 12 circuits per row, which matches the common Mini50 header layout for 24-circuit harnesses.
That temperature span covers under-hood automotive and industrial cabinet environments where the connector sees thermal cycling. The glass fill adds dimensional stability at the upper end — the housing will not soften or creep under the latch load at 100°C. The latch lock is integral to the housing, so there are no loose metal clips to lose during assembly. The bag packaging is standard for loose-piece housing orders; the parts are not on tape for automated placement since this is a hand-loaded crimp housing.
