Two-position power header for board-level distribution
The Molex 919990499 is the 2-position member of the Appli-Mate 91999 series — a through-hole header with male blades, silver-plated contacts, and a latch lock. Rated 16 A per circuit at 250 V, it serves as a compact power interconnect point on a PCB, commonly used for DC input, motor drive, or battery connection in appliances, industrial controls, and power supplies. The 5.00 mm pitch leaves room to route 16 A traces between pads without necking the board layout.
Silver contacts and latch lock handle the duty
Silver contact finish — 78.7 µin (2.00 µm) thick — gives lower contact resistance than tin at this current level, which matters when the connector runs near its 16 A limit. The PA66 insulator handles -20°C to 120°C, covering most indoor equipment and cabinet environments.
