The Molex CP-3.3 5056060801 is an 8-position, 2-row plug housing from the CP-3.3 series, built on a 3.30 mm pitch. It is a free-hanging (in-line) crimp housing — you terminate the male pins separately, then insert them into the cavities. The latch lock on the housing gives a positive, audible click when mated with the matching receptacle, so the connection stays put under vibration without needing a secondary locking clip. This housing is the wire-side half of a wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnect; typical applications include power distribution harnesses, appliance wiring, and industrial control panels where a reliable, field-serviceable connection is needed.
The One Spec That Trips Up Buyers: Contacts Not Included
The housing ships empty — the note says it straight: Contacts Not Included. You order the male crimp terminals separately, then crimp them to your wire (typically 20–24 AWG for this series, though the exact wire range depends on the terminal selected). If you are filling a BOM line for a harness build, make sure the terminal part number is on a separate line. The latch lock is molded into the housing and engages with the mating receptacle's ramp — no loose parts to lose on the assembly floor.
