CP-3.3 Receptacle Housing, 6 Circuits, 3.30 mm Pitch — Contacts Sold Separately
The Molex 5056050600 is a 6-circuit, dual-row receptacle housing from the CP-3.3 505605 series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnects at a 3.30 mm pitch. This housing is typically used in automotive, industrial control, and appliance harnesses where a compact, reliable disconnect is needed.
What the 3.30 mm Pitch and Latch Holder Mean for the Assembly
The 3.30 mm pitch is tighter than the common 3.00 mm or 3.96 mm standards, which means the mating header and board footprint are specific to the CP-3.3 series — it will not interchange with a Micro-Fit 3.0 or Mini-Fit Jr. housing. The latch holder gives a positive mechanical lock when mated, so the pair stays together under vibration or cable tug without relying on a secondary clip. For a 6-circuit dual-row layout, the latch engages on the long side of the housing, which keeps the assembly symmetric and prevents off-axis pullout.
