43680-2004 – MOLEX

The Molex 43680-2004 is a four-position plug housing designed for use in wire-to-board or wire-to-wire connector systems. Constructed from a black, UL 94V-0 rated thermoplastic, the housing provides insulation and mechanical protection for crimp terminals accepting wires within a specified gauge range, typically 18-24 AWG depending on the terminal series used. It features a 7.50mm pitch, dictating the center-to-center spacing of the contacts when mated. The housing incorporates a positive locking mechanism to ensure secure mating with compatible receptacle or header connectors, preventing accidental disconnections in vibration-prone environments. Polarization features are molded into the housing to prevent mismating, and the design facilitates efficient assembly and wire termination using appropriate Molex crimp tooling. This component is commonly employed in power and signal applications within industrial equipment, consumer electronics, and automotive systems.
