Connector Identity and Fit
The Molex 430450823 is an 8-position, dual-row, right-angle through-hole header from the Micro-Fit 3.0 43045 series. The 3.00 mm pitch gives enough creepage for the 600 V rating without forcing an oversized board footprint — the pad spacing is wide enough for easy routing but tight enough for a compact layout.
Key Features and Ratings
The 30.0 µin gold plating on the mating side supports repeated mating cycles typical of harness service; the 100.0 µin tin post finish is standard for solder-joint reliability. The board lock provides SMT retention during reflow and shear resistance from cable strain, critical for the automotive and industrial applications listed. The UL94 V-0 liquid crystal polymer housing is required for equipment inside an enclosure — it self-extinguishes within 10 seconds. ROHS3 compliant.
