What it is and where it sits in the series
The Molex 436802006 is the 6-circuit plug housing in the Sabre 43680 family — a 0.295-inch (7.50 mm) pitch, single-row wire-to-wire system built around a male blade contact that mates into the matching Sabre receptacle. The locking ramp on the plug body keeps the halves seated under vibration, which is the main reason this series lives in industrial automation and appliance power harnesses rather than low-current signal paths.
Contacts are not included — order them separately
This listing is the housing only. The spec note flags it explicitly: Contacts Not Included. The Sabre 43680 series uses crimp male blade contacts ordered as a separate line item; the housing accepts them as a free-hanging in-line termination, which means the harness builder crimps the wire to the contact, inserts it into the housing, and plugs the assembly into whatever equipment port the matching receptacle occupies. Skipping the separate contact order is the most common mis-step on this series.
18 A per circuit — the rating that decides power vs signal duty
18 A per circuit at the full 6 positions puts this in power territory. The PA/nylon housing material is rated to 75 °C operating, with the current rating applying when the derating curve is observed at the upper end of that range.
What it mates with and how the assembly builds out
The 436802006 mates with the matching Sabre 43680 receptacle housing — female contacts on the downstream side. Stacking direction is side to side, which means the mated pair sits flat in the harness run; the free-hanging mount on this plug gives the harness builder full orientation control at the equipment port. The locking ramp engages the receptacle latch and resists separation under cable pull or intermittent vibration.
