M50-3004045

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are commonly used in industries for a variety of purposes, providing a reliable connection between two or more mechanical components. The type of connector must be chosen based on the specific application it will be used for, as each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. The M50-3004045 is one such type, and is a high quality, reliable component which is used across multiple industries, from automotive and telecommunications to lighting and aerospace.

The M50-3004045 forms part of the modular circular connector series manufactured by renowned technology company, Molex. This series is suitable for usage in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 80°C, depending on the casing type used, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from harsh or high-temperature environments to indoors. The M50-3004045 has a compact design with a shallow depth profile, making it suitable for installation in confined spaces, and the flexible cable entry offers easy and fast assembly.

The M50-3004045 consists of a box header and a receptacle, which work together to create a robust and reliable connection. The box header is a one-piece body which features four pins, each with two terminals. The pins are spring-loaded and fitted with conducting springs, making it simple to insert the box header into the receptacle and ensuring good electrical contact between the two components. The two terminals on each pin provide built-in strain relief, reducing the risk of the wires becoming loose and potentially causing a short circuit.

The receptacle of the M50-3004045 is designed to mate with the box header. It has four cavities, each with a terminal open to receive the pins of the box header. The terminals of the receptacle feature spring clips, which fit snugly around the box header pins when inserted and firmly secure the connection. This ensures that there is good electrical contact between the box header and the receptacle, and reduces the risk of the pins becoming loose and shorting out the circuit.

The M50-3004045 is a versatile and reliable component for use in a variety of applications. It is highly resistant to mechanical shock and vibration, as well as temperature extremes and heavy inrush currents, making it suitable for use in harsh or extreme environments. Additionally, the M50-3004045 offers a reliable and secure connection between two components, making it an excellent choice for high-speed connections. As such, it is often found in automotive, telecommunications, lighting, and aerospace applications.
