Molex CP-2.5 Mini Connector, Custom Wire Harness Manufacturer

Molex CP-2.5 Mini Connector

The Molex CP-2.5 Mini Connector System is a compact, reliable interconnect solution designed for space-constrained consumer and industrial applications, including home appliances, white goods, water heaters, industrial automation, HVAC, copiers, and vending machines. Featuring a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) pitch, it operates over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is RoHS-compliant (non-halogen-free, non-glow-wire-capable). Constructed with PBT UL94V-0 housings/retainers and pre-tin-plated phosphor bronze terminals, it supports 2–8 circuits (2–6 positions available in stock) with 1-row, cable-mount/free-hanging crimp termination—offering socket (receptacle) or pin (plug) gender options. Electrical specifications include up to 250VAC voltage and 3.0A current, ≤ 20mω low-level contact resistance, 1000VAC dielectric withstand voltage, and ≥1000MΩ insulation resistance. Mechanically, it delivers a max 39.2N insertion force (8-circuit), a min 29.4N crimp pull-out force (AWG24), a max 19.6N terminal retention, and 30-cycle durability. Ideal for wire-to-board and wire-to-wire signal transmission in diverse compact systems.
