5-Position CLIK-Mate Plug Housing for Wire Harness Assembly
The Molex 5024390500 is a 5-position plug housing from the CLIK-Mate 502439 series, designed for wire-to-board interconnects in compact consumer and industrial devices. At a 2.00 mm pitch, it fits signal-level wiring where board space is tight — think LED lighting strips, appliance control boards, or sensor harnesses. The single-row layout keeps the footprint narrow, and the latch lock on the housing gives a positive click when mated, so the connection stays put under vibration or cable tug. This is the wire-side plug half — it accepts crimp terminals (sold separately) and mates with the corresponding CLIK-Mate 2.00 mm pitch header on the PCB.
Sourcing the Right Crimp Terminals
The listing explicitly notes contacts are not included — the 5024390500 ships as an empty housing. You will need to order the matching CLIK-Mate crimp terminals separately, typically Molex 502439 series female contacts for 22-28 AWG wire. The crimp termination means you attach the terminal to the wire with a hand or pneumatic crimp tool, then insert it into the housing until the latch locks it in place. No soldering, no special tooling beyond the crimper. The mating half is a CLIK-Mate 2.00 mm pitch header, surface-mount or through-hole depending on the board design. The latch on the plug housing engages with a corresponding ramp on the header shroud — listen for the click to confirm full seat.
