Product Introduction
The Molex 430450808 is an 8-circuit, dual-row header from the Micro-Fit 3.0 43045 series. It is a board-to-wire interconnect, surface-mount right-angle, with a shrouded 4-wall design and a locking ramp for secure mating. Key features include a 3.00 mm pitch, gold-plated mating contacts rated for 8 A per circuit at 600 V, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The UL94 V-0 rated LCP housing and board lock make it suited for automotive, industrial, medical, and telecom applications where vibration resistance and reliable SMT retention are needed.
The right-angle SMT orientation positions the connector parallel to the PCB, ideal for board-edge cable exits in space-constrained enclosures. The board lock feature anchors the header during reflow soldering, resisting shear forces from cable strain. The brass contacts are square pins, all 8 positions loaded.
This header is specified for automotive, general purpose, industrial, medical, and telecommunications applications. The gold mating contacts support field-serviceable connections in corrosive or high-humidity settings.
The 8 A per circuit rating at 600 V means each contact can carry bus-level current for power distribution within a harness, not just signal-level loads.
No secondary TPA is on the header side; the receptacle provides terminal position assurance.
