10101043

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Overview

Molex 10101043 is a 4-position receptacle connector from the KK-25 series. It features a 5.08mm (0.200 inch) pitch and utilizes through-hole termination for PCB mounting. The contacts are tin-plated to ensure reliable conductivity. This component is designed for direct insertion into printed circuit boards, providing a secure mechanical and electrical connection for low-to-medium current applications in consumer electronics and industrial equipment.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Feature Summary

• Four-contact configuration with 5.08mm spacing
• Through-hole termination style for board mounting
• Tin-plated contact surfaces for corrosion resistance

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Applications

• Consumer electronic device interconnects
• Industrial control panel wiring
• General-purpose PCB signal routing

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Procurement Notes

Verify that the required pin count matches the four-position specification. Confirm that the PCB footprint aligns with the 5.08mm pitch dimensions. Ensure the through-hole termination method is compatible with the assembly process. Tin plating must meet the intended environmental requirements for the specific application.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Selection Notes

Select this part when a fixed four-wire connection is required at a 5.08mm interval. The through-hole design offers robust mechanical retention compared to surface-mount alternatives. Consider the tin plating for standard environments where gold plating is not strictly necessary for high-cycle mating.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Part Context

This receptacle belongs to Molex's KK-25 series, which provides versatile header and socket solutions. The series is characterized by its standardized pitch and reliable through-hole construction, widely used in general electronics manufacturing for stable board-to-board or wire-to-board connections.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other KK-25 series receptacles with identical 4-position counts and 5.08mm pitch. Verify that any alternative maintains the same through-hole termination geometry and tin plating specifications to ensure interchangeability.
