Molex KK396 Connector System

Molex KK396 connector system

The Molex KK396 connector system is ideal for use in industries such as automotive, medical and consumer. Dual-cantilever terminals offer a square-post contact area that interfaces with the male pin header through a spring-like contact. Available in 18AWG to 24AWG wire, anti-fishing options are available to protect the wire during cable assembly. The KK396 PCB receptacles are available in right-angle, top-entry and board-through configurations. Housings have built-in polarisation features and are available in UL 94V-2 and UL 94V-0 nylons.
