Series * — What the Spec Table Leaves Out
The series field for 444720451 is listed as an asterisk — meaning the official series name is not captured in the normalized spec record. For a Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings part, the series typically defines the pitch, contact spacing, and housing keying. Without it, the buyer must cross-check the mating half's series designation before placing the order. Box packaging indicates the part ships in bulk loose pieces, not on a reel. This suits manual harness assembly or low-volume production where tape-and-reel feed is not required.
The product status is Active, meaning Molex continues to manufacture 444720451 with no announced end-of-life. The BOM line is safe from an EOL-driven redesign for the foreseeable future. Because the series is unconfirmed in the spec table, the buyer should verify the pitch and circuit count against the mating connector before committing to a volume order.
