The Molex 430450223 is a 2-position, 2-row right-angle header from the Micro-Fit 3.0 43045 series. It's a board-to-wire interconnect — the header solders into the PCB, and the matching receptacle housing crimps onto the wire harness. Gold on the mating face (30.0 µ" thick) handles repeated mating cycles; the tin-plated solder tails (100.0 µ") wet well in wave solder.
At 2 positions across 2 rows, this is the minimum circuit count in the Micro-Fit 3.0 header family — one position per row. The right-angle orientation and board lock are standard for the series, not special-order options.
This header mates with any Micro-Fit 3.0 receptacle housing at the same 3.00 mm pitch and 2×2 layout — the 43045-series female housings with crimp terminals. The locking ramp engages the receptacle's latch for positive retention. Termination to the board is through-hole solder; the 0.125" (3.18 mm) post length suits standard 1.6 mm PCBs.
Deployment context
The UL94 V-0 LCP housing handles the 105 °C operating ceiling, and the -40 °C floor covers cold-start in automotive or outdoor telecom cabinets. Applications listed include automotive, industrial, medical, and general-purpose equipment.
