What This 2-Position DuraClik Housing Does
The Molex 5601230200 is a 2-circuit receptacle housing from the DuraClik 560123 series, designed for wire-to-board interconnects where a compact, positive-locking crimp connection is needed. The 2.00 mm pitch keeps the assembly narrow — suited for tight harness routing in consumer appliances, automotive interior modules, and industrial control panels. The housing accepts non-gendered crimp terminals (ordered separately) and secures the mated pair with a latch holder, giving the connection vibration resistance without requiring a secondary locking clip.
Mating and Termination — What You Need to Order
This is a free-hanging receptacle housing that terminates via crimp contacts — there are no pre-installed wires or terminals. The contacts are non-gendered and must be ordered separately under their own part number; the housing itself is an empty shell. The mating half is the corresponding DuraClik 560123 series header (through-hole or SMT, depending on board-side requirements), which carries the same 2.00 mm pitch and latch feature.
Construction and Fit Notes
The housing is molded from glass-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) in white, rated ROHS3 compliant. The single-row, 2-position layout gives a narrow profile — about 4.00 mm wide at the body — which fits into tight cable-routing channels. The latch holder is integrated into the housing wall, not a separate metal clip, so there is no extra part to lose during assembly. The tray packaging (standard for this series) is fine for hand-loading on a harness board; if you need tape-and-reel for automated placement, check the 560123 series for alternate packaging options.
