Molex MicroClasp Connector

Molex's MicroClasp Wire-to-Board Connector, with its 2.0 mm pitch design, is engineered to provide optimal space savings and smooth functionality for compact applications. Unlike typical 2.0 mm and 2.5 mm pitch wire-to-board systems, the MicroClasp system incorporates a unique inner positive locking mechanism that enhances latch protection and ensures secure retention, along with an audible "click" that confirms proper mating. This added feature strengthens the connection and enhances user confidence during assembly by providing tactile and auditory feedback. The terminals are designed with low insertion and withdrawal forces, making the connectors easy to mate and unmate, even in high-density configurations. Despite its compact form, the MicroClasp system supports a robust 3 A current, addressing space and power needs. Available in single- and dual-row configurations, the system offers versatile circuit sizes ranging from 2 to 40 positions and options for surface mount technology (SMT) and through-hole mounting. This adaptability makes the MicroClasp ideal for a broad range of wire-to-board applications, particularly in high-density, space-sensitive environments.
