What is a 5 pin Molex cable connector?
Molex connectors come in various sizes and shapes, with the pin-and-socket interconnect being the most common type. As a result, the term "Molex connector" is often used to describe a two-piece socket and pin connection system. These connectors typically feature between two to 24 contacts that are keyed or polarized to ensure proper orientation. The pins and sockets can be arranged in different configurations within a single housing, which can be either male or female—similar to the design of a 5-pin Molex cable connector.
As one of the most widely used pin-and-socket connectors, this wire-to-board connector supports a maximum current of 5.0A at 250V.
It accommodates standard-sized 0.6mm plated brass wires, ranging from 18 to 24 AWG, with a pitch of 3.68mm. The 2×2 receptacle matrix is an excellent choice for serving as the primary power source in compact PCBs. The mating male connector is a female five-pin plug that utilizes crimp pins for wire connections.
What are the characteristics of a 5 pin Molex cable connector?
- A single wire is joined to another wire by four independent pieces.
- It features a metal clamp-type pin that can be crimped onto any chosen wire using a specialized crimping tool.
- On the pin, two separate crimps are featured – one holding the conductor of the wire and the other that crimps to the wire’s insulation; thus, strain relief is provided for the wire conductor.
- Insert the pin into a socket that is a part of the larger nylon connector.
The flexible design of the Molex 5-pin cable has accelerated the prototyping of interconnect applications. With sufficient crimp terminal pins readily available, it provides long-term power solutions across a wide range of industries and sectors.
