Receptacle Housing for Micro-Lock PLUS Wire Harnesses
The Molex 5055650501 is a 5-circuit receptacle housing from the Micro-Lock PLUS 505565 series, designed for free-hanging in-line wire-to-board connections at a 1.25mm pitch. This single-row housing uses a latch holder fastening system for a positive, audible lock against vibration in automotive and industrial harness assemblies. Contacts are not included — the female socket terminals are ordered separately and crimped onto the wire before insertion.
What It Mates With and What It Needs
This receptacle housing mates with a Micro-Lock PLUS 1.25mm-pitch header (male pin) — the matching through-hole or SMT header from the same series. Since the housing ships without contacts, you need to source the correct female crimp terminal separately, typically a 20-28 AWG wire range terminal from the Micro-Lock PLUS terminal family. The crimp termination allows field-assembled or harness-shop wire preparation before insertion into the housing cavities.
