About Rectangular Connector Housings

Rectangular connector housings form the structural foundation of wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connections, providing insulation, contact alignment, and mechanical protection. These components are critical for organizing multiple conductors in compact spaces while preventing short circuits and physical damage. The standardized pitch designs ensure compatibility across diverse electronic subsystems.

In industrial and consumer applications, connector housings enable modular assembly, simplifying manufacturing and field maintenance. Features like polarizing keys and locking mechanisms prevent misalignment and accidental disconnections—essential in high-vibration environments. The crimp-terminated KK series exemplified here remains a versatile solution for low-voltage signal and power distribution due to its proven reliability and ease of installation.

FAQs

Q: Are contacts included with this housing?
A: No, this is a housing-only product. Compatible crimp pins (e.g., Molex 08-50-0114) must be purchased separately.

Q: Is this connector suitable for high-vibration environments?
A: Yes, the locking ramp mechanism provides secure mating retention, making it ideal for industrial applications.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible?
A: Designed for 22-24 AWG wires when used with standard KK series crimp contacts.

Q: Why is this part marked obsolete?
A: Molex has discontinued this variant, but PCX maintains stock for legacy system support and repairs.

Q: Can I mate this with other KK series connectors?
A: Yes, it’s compatible with any KK254 series plug housing sharing the 0.100″ pitch and polarizing key configuration.

Q: Is RoHS compliance confirmed?
A: This specific obsolete part may not have original RoHS documentation. Contact PCX for material analysis reports.
