Molex CP-4.5 Wire-to-Wire Connectors, Custom Wire Harness Assembly

Molex CP-4.5 Wire-to-Wire Connectors

The Molex CP-4.5 Wire-to-Wire Connector System is a compact interconnect solution featuring a 4.50 mm (0.177") pitch, available in both plug (male pin) and receptacle (female socket) configurations within the 206997 and 206996 sub-series, respectively. It supports 2-, 4-, and 6-circuit configurations, with single-row layouts for 2-position models and dual-row layouts (row spacing: 5.90 mm) for 4- and 6-position models. Designed for free-hanging/cable-mount installations, these connectors employ crimp termination with latch-lock (plug) and latch-holder (receptacle) fastening mechanisms. The durable Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 housings operate across a wide temperature range—receptacles from -40°C to +105°C and plugs from -40°C to +120°C. Offered in multiple color options, including black, red, yellow, orange, blue, and natural for easy circuit identification, this series is ideal for space-constrained wire-to-wire applications in white goods, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics requiring reliable, polarized connections.
