The Molex 430450414 is a vertical through-hole header from the Micro-Fit 3.0 43045 series, carrying 4 circuits in a dual-row arrangement on a 3.00 mm pitch. It is a board-to-wire interconnect — the male pins mate with a Micro-Fit 3.0 receptacle housing to deliver power or signal from the PCB to a harness. The 8 A per circuit rating at 600 V puts this squarely in the power interconnect class: each contact can carry enough current for a small motor, a solenoid, or a DC-DC converter feed, not just a logic-level signal.
The 8 A per circuit is the per-contact limit at the rated temperature rise; in practice, if all four circuits are loaded simultaneously in a warm enclosure, the total current through the header stays under 32 A before the housing temperature climbs.
This header mates with any Micro-Fit 3.0 receptacle housing that matches the 4-circuit, dual-row layout. The male pins are square, kinked for retention in the housing, and terminate via through-hole solder.
The base product number 043045 covers the series footprint, so any datasheet or drawing starting with that prefix applies to this variant.
