What the 436802004 Is
The Molex 436802004 is the 4-position member of the Sabre 43680 series — a free-hanging plug housing with a locking ramp, designed to accept male blade crimp contacts ordered separately. The 0.295 inch (7.50 mm) pitch and 18 A per circuit rating place this firmly in the power-interconnect class, not signal-density territory. Contacts are not included with this housing — a critical sourcing note for BOM buyers who expect a complete connector. The male blade contact type and crimp termination mean the mating half must be a female-recess receptacle housing in the same Sabre 43680 series, with compatible blade geometry and locking ramp engagement.
Housing, Not a Connector
The 436802004 ships as a housing only. The PA/Nylon (polyamide) body operates across -40°C to 75°C and provides the structural shell and locking ramp mechanism; the current path runs through the crimp contact you add separately. For a 4-circuit power node at 18 A per circuit, verify the contact plating grade matches your wire gauge and duty cycle before specifying.
Sourcing and Compliance
Production status is Active; the housing carries ROHS3 compliance. No official successor or cross-reference exists — if your BOM uses this exact order code, the Sabre 43680 series is your base for alternatives, but mechanical fit and contact compatibility require engineering confirmation before substituting.
