Design Engineering Note — Micro-Fit 3.0 Right-Angle SMD Header
The Molex 430450606 is a 6-position, dual-row header from the Micro-Fit 3.0 43045 series, configured as a board-to-cable/wire interconnect. It uses a 0.118" (3.00 mm) pitch on both the position spacing and row-to-row spacing, which sets the PCB footprint and confirms compatibility with the matching Micro-Fit 3.0 receptacle housing. The 4-wall shrouded design with a locking ramp protects the pins and provides audible positive retention when mated.
The 8 A rating holds at the stated operating range; for continuous duty near the upper temperature limit of 105°C, derate per the manufacturer's curve.
