8-Circuit CP-3.3 Receptacle Housing
The Molex 5056050801 is an 8-position, dual-row receptacle housing from the CP-3.3 505605 series. It uses a 3.30 mm pitch and a latch holder for secure mating in free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board harness applications.
Terminals Ordered Separately
This housing ships without contacts — the listing explicitly notes contacts are not included. You will need to order the matching female socket crimp terminals separately. The housing accepts crimp-terminated contacts that are inserted after the wire is stripped and crimped. The latch holder provides audible and tactile feedback when the housing is fully mated with its counterpart, and the dual-row arrangement keeps the 8 circuits in a compact footprint.
Mating and Termination
The 5056050801 mates with the corresponding CP-3.3 male header (pin header) of the same series, also in a dual-row, 8-circuit, 3.30 mm pitch configuration. Termination is crimp-style: the female socket contacts are crimped onto the wire ends, then inserted into the housing cavities. The latch holder on the housing locks with the mating header's latch to prevent accidental disconnection under vibration — a common requirement in automotive and industrial harness builds.
