Molded rectangular connector cable assemblies designed for compatibility with Molex® Micro-Fit™ 3.0 and other functional equivalents. Rectangular connectors provide a compact, secure power and signal interconnect solutions for applications requiring high current density in a small footprint. Utilizing 3.0 mm pitch rectangular locking connectors, the series supports both single-row and dual-row configurations in 2 to 10 contact options.
The assemblies are offered in plug → plug and plug → stripped and tinned configurations in standard 1 m lengths. Molded overmolds improve cable support and strain relief while helping protect the cable exit during installation and repeated handling.
Rated up to 300 V and 7.0 A per circuit, the series supports compact wire → wire and wire → board interconnect applications requiring reliable current handling and secure connection retention. The locking connector interface and keyed design help maintain reliable connections in installations where vibration, movement, or limited accessibility may be concerns.

FAQs
Why would you choose a rectangular connector for your application?
The rectangular connector systems provide high current density within a compact connector footprint. With ratings up to 7.0 A per circuit and secure locking features, they are commonly used in applications requiring compact, reliable power and signal connections.
What does 3.0 mm pitch mean?
Pitch refers to the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts. In this series, the connectors use a 3.0 mm pitch, which defines connector density and mating compatibility with several 3.0 style interfaces.
What does “functional equivalent” mean in relation to these connectors?
Functional equivalent indicates that a connector is designed to match the required form, fit, and function of a referenced connector interface without necessarily being sourced from the original manufacturer. Some functional equivalents include:
- Micro-Fit 3.0™ — Molex®
- Miniteck Pwr 3.0™ — Amphenol®
- ELCON Micro™ — TE Connectivity®
What is the benefit of an overmolded connector design?
The molded overmold provides additional strain relief at the cable exit while improving cable handling during installation and repeated use. It also creates a more durable and finished cable assembly compared to non-molded terminations.
What is the difference between single row and dual row connector configurations?
Single row connectors arrange contacts in a single linear row, while dual row connectors utilize two rows to increase contact density within a compact connector size. Dual row configurations are commonly used when additional circuits are required without significantly increasing connector footprint.
