This female crimp terminal from Molex is a series connector designed for power and wire-to-board applications. It pairs with a Molex KK 396 connector housing and is commonly used in computing and networking applications. The contact area and the male pin header stay connected through spring-like contact, while a locking tang keeps the terminals in position to ensure firm connections. Gold contact plating delivers good conductivity and also resists corrosion, which means this is a reliable option for use in damp environments.

• Maximum contact resistance of 10mΩ prevents voltage drop
• Crimp termination withstands vibrations and ensures a secure connection

First, prepare the wire using a wire stripper, then use the manufacturer's recommended crimp tool to ensure a successful join. When the crimp is complete, inspect the connection for flaws, such as wires in the contact area.
