1. It is a type of connector used in electrical engineering
2. It is most commonly seen in computer hardware, including motherboards and peripheral devices
3. The 8/32 part of Molex is the most common type and consists of a two-piece connector
4. The main connector body is made up of two plastic shells, one for the male pins and the other for the female sockets
5. The outer shells provide a dust and moisture seal and clip together to prevent accidental disconnection
6. The contact pins are shaped so that they can easily be inserted and removed from the connector bodies
7. The electrical contacts are made up of stamped and formed brass with a tin plating
8. The contacts provide a secure electrical connection between devices and can withstand up to 39 amps per circuit
9. The pins are protected by a plastic sleeve to prevent them from disconnecting when unplugging the connector
10. The 8/32 part of Molex is a widely used connector for many low voltage power applications, such as automotive electrical systems, consumer electronics and lighting products
11. It is designed to fit securely and provide a reliable electrical connection over a large range of temperatures
12. It is a simple, cost effective solution and requires little space, making it a preferred option for many applications
13. The 8/32 part of Molex is also known as a standard polarizing connector because its unique shape prevents it from being connected in the wrong way
14. The connector is also RoHS compliant, meaning it is non-toxic and safe for use in many applications
15. It is also UL recognized, meaning it has been tested and meets safety requirements
