Board-to-Cable Header for Wire Harness Interconnects
The Molex 430450806 is an 8-position, dual-row header from the Micro-Fit 3.0 43045 series, designed for board-to-cable/wire interconnect applications. The tin-plated brass contacts are rated 8 A per circuit at 600 V, with a -40 to 105 °C operating range and a UL94 V-0 LCP housing.
The 8 A per circuit rating at 600 V means each contact can carry moderate power — think sensor supply, actuator drive, or low-current distribution in a harness, not just signal-level duty. Board locks hold the header down during reflow and resist shear from cable strain after the receptacle is mated.
This header is specified for automotive, general-purpose industrial, medical, and telecommunications equipment — any application where a locked, vibration-resistant wire-to-board connection is needed. The -40 to 105 °C range and UL94 V-0 rating make it suitable for underhood automotive modules, industrial control cabinets, and telecom infrastructure where flame-rated components are required. The right-angle SMT orientation suits board-edge wire exits in space-constrained enclosures, and the board locks keep the part in place during reflow assembly.
