Molex CP-3.3 Wire-to-Wire, Wire-to-Board Connectors, Wire Harness Manufacturer

Molex CP-3.3 Wire-to-Wire, Wire-to-Board Connectors

The Molex CP-3.3 Connector System is a robust interconnect solution available in both Wire-to-Board and Wire-to-Wire configurations, featuring a compact 3.30 mm pitch. The Wire-to-Board variant offers dual-row configurations (2–6 circuits) with a maximum voltage rating of 300V and currents up to 8.5A (18 AWG), fully polarized and color-coded housings, two-terminal-position-assurance (TPA) retainers, inertial locks with tactile/audible feedback, and kinked solder tails for enhanced PCB retention—all glow-wire compliant and constructed from PA UL94V-0 materials. The Wire-to-Wire variant provides both single-row (2–6 circuits) and dual-row (4–12 circuits) configurations, rated at up to 500V, with fully polarized and color-coded plug/receptacle housings, inertial locks, TPA retainers, and housing ribs that increase creepage and clearance distances for moisture/contaminant resistance. Both configurations support copper alloy contacts with tin plating, operate from -40°C to +105°C, and are widely deployed in industrial automation, white goods, consumer electronics, automotive infotainment, and medical devices.
