24-Circuit iGrid Receptacle Housing for Wire-to-Board Harnesses
The Molex 5016462401 is a 24-circuit receptacle housing from the iGrid 501646 series, designed for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnect in space-constrained harness assemblies. It uses a 2.00 mm pitch, which keeps the board footprint tight while still allowing enough creepage for the voltage levels typical of automotive and industrial control circuits. The housing is a single-row, free-hanging (in-line) design with a latch lock that gives a positive audible click when mated — a real advantage in high-vibration environments where a loose connector means intermittent faults.
Mating Plug and Terminal Selection
This receptacle mates with the matching iGrid 501646 series header. The latch lock on the receptacle engages with the header's locking ramp. For the female socket contacts, use the Molex 501646 series crimp terminal. A hand crimp tool or semi-automatic press with the appropriate applicator is recommended for consistent crimp height and pull-force.
