Molex BRAD 12 Way KK Crimp Terminal Housing 3.96mm Pitch

The Molex BRAD 12 Way KK Crimp Terminal Housing is a single-row receptacle with 3.96 mm pitch spacing, designed for secure electrical connections. Constructed from polyester, the housing uses an integrated friction ramp to lock with its mating KK header.

Overview

The housing features a three-point contact, dual cantilever terminal system that provides electrical conductivity and mechanical stability. A friction-lock mechanism between headers and receptacles creates a latching connection without the need for additional tools or clips, which simplifies installation.

Key Features

• Friction ramp for secure mating and retention with the KK header
• Three-point contact, dual cantilever terminal system
• Polarisation through header backwalls and polarising ribs on the receptacles
• Retention pegs on compatible headers for secure PCB mounting
• Friction-lock connection without additional tools or clips

Polarisation and Mounting

Polarisation is provided through dedicated header backwalls and polarising ribs on the receptacles, which helps prevent incorrect mating during assembly. For PCB mounting, the compatible headers include retention pegs to hold the circuit board firmly.

Compatibility and Applications

Part of the KK product range, the housing is designed for use with specific MOLEX / BRAD crimp terminals to support a complete crimp connection. The corresponding KK RPC headers are available in high-temperature nylon with reflow matte-tin plating, which suits automated soldering processes and applications with elevated thermal requirements.
