MOLEX KK 5.08mm Pitch Crimp Terminal Housing - 8 way

The MOLEX KK 5.08mm Pitch Crimp Terminal Housing is a professional-grade, high-reliability connector solution designed for secure and durable electrical connections. Part of the widely recognised KK 508 series, these housings are engineered with precision to accommodate crimp terminals, providing a robust interface for a variety of electronic applications. The design incorporates advanced features to ensure a stable and long-lasting connection, making it a preferred choice for engineers and technicians.

Constructed from high-temperature nylon, the housing offers excellent durability and resistance to heat, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding environments. A key feature is the reflow matte tin plating on the contacts, which enhances solderability and provides superior corrosion resistance for consistent signal integrity. The housing includes polarizing ribs and back walls to prevent mismating and ensure the connector is oriented correctly every time, reducing the risk of assembly errors.

For a secure physical connection, the system utilises a friction lock mechanism. Headers and housings feature a friction lock ramp design that creates a firm, vibration-resistant hold without the need for additional latching hardware. Locking tangs on the terminals provide a secondary securement within the housing, preventing terminal push-out and ensuring each contact remains firmly in place. This connector system is Reflow Process Compatible (RPC), allowing it to withstand standard surface-mount reflow soldering temperatures, which streamlines the manufacturing process.

The KK connector system is versatile, catering to both signal and power needs. The KK 254 series is optimised for signal applications, while the KK 396 series is designed for power applications. This 8-way housing is specifically engineered for use with MOLEX KK 508 3001 Series crimp contacts, guaranteeing perfect compatibility and fit.
