Additional Details

The 87832-0406 connector housing is specifically designed to work with Molex Micro-Latch crimp terminals. These terminals are crimped onto the wires and then inserted into the housing, providing a secure electrical and mechanical connection. The housing offers insulation and protection for the terminals and ensures proper alignment when mated with a corresponding header or receptacle on a PCB.

The Micro-Latch feature provides a tactile and audible click when the connector is fully engaged, confirming a secure and reliable connection. This is especially important in applications where vibration or movement could potentially loosen less secure connections. The connector is designed for automated assembly processes, contributing to efficient manufacturing.
