Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the Molex 5084-2040 MLX receptacle offer?
The Molex 5084-2040 is a 4-position, single-row MLX series female receptacle with a 4.2 mm contact pitch. This spacing accommodates 18-22 AWG wire terminations and supports up to 5A per contact, making it suitable for both power distribution and signal routing in automotive and industrial control wiring harnesses.
Which mating connector plug is designed to pair with the Molex 5084-2040 for a complete assembly?
The Molex 5084-2040 female receptacle mates with the corresponding MLX series male housing in the 42021 or 42022 family, specifically the 4-position variants. These mating plugs accept 18-22 AWG wire with crimp terminals rated at 5A per contact, providing a polarized, locking connection capable of withstanding over 30 mating cycles.
In what environmental conditions can the Molex 5084-2040 MLX connector reliably operate?
The Molex 5084-2040 MLX series connector is designed for operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, covering typical automotive and industrial environments. Its locking housing resists connector back-out under vibration, and the UL-rated housing material provides flame resistance, making it reliable in engine compartments, HVAC systems, and motor control panels.
