18-Position SMT Header for Wire-to-Board Power
The Molex 430451819 is an 18-position, dual-row surface-mount header from the Micro-Fit 3.0 43045 series. It connects board-side circuitry to a wire harness via the matching Micro-Fit 3.0 receptacle housing and crimp terminals.
At 18 positions loaded, every pin is present; there are no optional voids. The 600 V rating and UL94 V-0 housing confirm the connector is rated for use inside equipment enclosures where flame retardance is required.
How It Compares: 430451819 vs 430451818
The 430451819 carries 18 positions against the 16 positions of the 430451818 at the same 3.00 mm pitch and dual-row layout. The difference is two circuits on the same footprint length — the 18-position version extends the row by one pair of contacts. All other key specs (8 A, 600 V, gold mating plating, shrouded 4-wall, locking ramp, SMT with solder retention) are identical. Choose the position count that matches your circuit count exactly.
