1461110801

Overview

Molex part number 146111-0801 is a one-piece wire-to-board connector designed for simple and permanent connections. It features a 2.00 mm pitch, accepts standard through-hole soldering methods, and includes terminal and housing locking functions to ensure secure retention. The component provides design flexibility with various circuit sizes and configurations, offering space and cost savings compared to two-piece types. It is engineered to withstand harsh conditions including vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures.

Feature Summary

• One-piece construction eliminates the need for separate housings and terminals, simplifying assembly and reducing inventory complexity.
• Integrated terminal and housing locking mechanisms provide robust mechanical stability and prevent accidental disengagement.
• Compatible with standard perforated soldering methods, ensuring reliable solder fillets superior to manual soldering processes.
• Designed for high reliability in dynamic environments, resisting shock, vibration, and thermal stress.

Applications

• Industrial automation equipment requiring permanent board-level interconnects
• Consumer appliances subject to mechanical vibration and thermal cycling
• Compact electronic assemblies where space optimization is critical

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix of the ordered part number against official Molex documentation to confirm exact pin count, orientation, and termination style. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing updates may alter material specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint designs before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a permanent, single-piece solution is preferred over separable connectors to reduce assembly time and part count. Evaluate the required circuit count and current rating against the 2.00 mm pitch series capabilities. Consider the through-hole soldering requirement versus surface mount alternatives based on production line equipment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Molex One-Piece Wire-to-Board Connector family, which offers a range of pitches including 2.00 mm, 2.50 mm, and 4.00 mm. These connectors are positioned as an alternative to traditional two-piece systems, providing comparable reliability with simplified logistics and assembly processes for mass production environments.

Replacement Considerations

DigiKey indicates that product 146111-0801 is no longer manufactured. Engineers should consult official Molex resources for current equivalent part numbers within the same connector family or next-generation replacements that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
