9 Circuits, 1.25 mm Pitch — CLIK-Mate Plug Housing
The Molex 5023800900 is a 9-position plug housing from the CLIK-Mate 502380 series, built for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-board harnesses. The 1.25 mm pitch keeps the footprint compact while the single-row layout simplifies routing in tight enclosures. The latch lock fastening gives an audible positive retention when mated — no secondary locking mechanism needed for most vibration profiles. This housing accepts crimp terminals (sold separately) and mates with the corresponding CLIK-Mate 502380 receptacle header.
Contacts Not Included — Order Crimp Terminals Separately
The 5023800900 ships as a bare housing — contacts are not included. The crimp termination style means you select the terminal wire gauge and plating (gold or tin) separately, then insert them into the housing cavities. For a complete mated pair, order the matching CLIK-Mate receptacle header and the appropriate crimp terminals for your wire size.
What the 1.25 mm Pitch and Latch Lock Mean for the Build
The 1.25 mm pitch is the defining dimension for board layout — the mating receptacle header's solder tails will match this spacing, so the PCB footprint is fixed at 1.25 mm between adjacent pads. The latch lock on the plug housing provides a mechanical retention that resists un-mating from cable tug or vibration, which is useful in portable equipment or automotive interiors.
