Product Name​
Molex Mini-Fit Jr. 0015311041 4-Position Plug Housing
Product Introduction​
4-position panel-mount plug housing for Mini-Fit crimp contacts. It is used for power and signal distribution where a locked, removable contact connection is required.

Detailed content

Technical Specifications​
Connector type plug housing. Number of positions 4. Number of rows 1. Pitch 4.80 mm or 0.189 in. Contact style male pin, crimp contacts sold separately. Locking style latch lock. Mounting style panel mount snap-in. Insulation material nylon 6/6 or PA66. Operating temperature -40 to 105 °C. RoHS compliant.
Functional Features​
Positive latch retention. Crimp termination for field or production wiring. Mini-Fit contact system supports power and signal applications. Housing only configuration allows separate selection of current-rated crimp contacts.
Application Scenarios​
Power supplies, industrial control panels, test equipment, appliances, robotics wiring, and general machinery requiring 4-circuit discrete power or signal connectors.
Performance Parameters​
Current and voltage rating depend on selected Mini-Fit crimp contacts. Housing pitch 4.80 mm supports medium-power wiring when paired with the proper gauge contacts and sockets.
Material and Structure​
Thermoplastic PA66 insulator. Locking latch arms on housing. Open plug housing accepts crimp pins; contacts are ordered separately by wire size and plating requirement.
Working Principle​
The housing aligns four male crimp contacts in a single row. The latch engages the mating receptacle to prevent accidental disconnection. Electrical connection is made through crimped wire contacts rather than soldered terminals.
Installation Requirements​
Crimp approved Mini-Fit contacts to the conductor before inserting into housing cavities. Use the correct insertion and extraction tooling. Mount the housing to the panel cutout using the snap-in or screw provision. Mate with a compatible Mini-Fit receptacle.
Usage Precautions​
Do not use the housing without properly seated contacts. Select contact current rating and wire gauge together. Keep operating temperature within -40 to 105 °C. Avoid exposure to solvents incompatible with PA66. Verify polarity and pin assignment before energizing.
