6-Position DuraClik Receptacle Housing for Wire Harness Assembly
The Molex 5601230601 is a 6-circuit receptacle housing from the DuraClik 560123 series, designed as the wire-side half of a wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnect. It accepts female socket crimp terminals terminated to discrete wires, then mates with a pin header or plug housing. The 2.00 mm pitch keeps the assembly compact for tight harness routing in automotive, industrial, and appliance applications. A latch holder on the housing provides positive locking when mated, resisting vibration-induced disconnect in moving assemblies or equipment subject to shock. The housing is free-hanging (in-line), meaning it does not mount to a PCB — it terminates a cable assembly that plugs into a board-mounted header or a mating receptacle. Black PBT housing is standard for this series.
Crimp Termination and Contact Compatibility
The 5601230601 uses crimp termination — the female socket contacts are crimped onto stripped wire ends, then inserted into the housing cavities. The latch holder retains each terminal and provides a secondary lock that prevents back-out during mating or vibration. Compatible male pin terminals from the DuraClik 560123 series (order separately) complete the connection. The 2.00 mm pitch and single-row layout match the corresponding DuraClik pin headers. Confirm the wire gauge range in the terminal datasheet before crimp tool setup.
