18-Position Micro-Fit 3.0 Receptacle for Wire-to-Board Harnesses
The Molex 43025-1810 is an 18-circuit, 2-row receptacle from the Micro-Fit 3.0 43025 series, designed for wire-to-board power and signal interconnects. At a 3.00 mm pitch, it provides enough creepage for 600 V rated systems without inflating the header footprint.
Glow Wire and Temperature Range — Compliance for Appliance and Automotive
That is a hard requirement for household appliances sold in Europe — washing machines, dishwashers, induction cooktops — where the connector sits near a potential ignition source.
This receptacle mates with the Micro-Fit 3.0 through-hole or SMT pin headers (43045 series). The dual-row, 18-position layout means the harness builder wires 9 circuits per row, with the latch lock orienting the connector — no chance of a 180° mis-mate. The crimp termination is field-reliable; a proper crimp with the correct applicator die gives a consistent pull force above the wire break strength.
