Molex KK 396 Series Female Crimp Terminal, 24 AWG Min Crimp, 18 AWG Max

This female crimp terminal from Molex is a series connector designed for power and wire-to-board applications. It pairs with a Molex KK 396 connector housing and is commonly used in computing and networking applications. The contact area and the male pin header stay connected through spring-like contact, while a locking tang keeps the terminals in position to ensure firm connections. Gold contact plating delivers good conductivity and also resists corrosion, which means this is a reliable option for use in damp environments.

• Maximum contact resistance of 10mΩ prevents voltage drop

First, prepare the wire using a wire stripper, then use the manufacturer's recommended crimp tool to ensure a successful join. When the crimp is complete, inspect the connection for flaws, such as wires in the contact area.

Molex, the 2478 and 2578 Series connector contacts feature a dual cantilever design. The square post contact area keeps contact with the male pin header through spring-like contact. A locking tang prevents terminal back out once loaded in housing.

• Wire gauge of 18 to 26 AWG
