Send higher current than M5, M8, and M12 connectors near tough industrial jobs, such as welding and metal machining. These mini connectors have a stainless steel housing or TPE cable that resists abrasion and cracking from exposure to water, chemicals, oil, coolant, or weld slag. They’re commonly used to send power and signal to automated systems, motors, and pumps. A threaded housing securely mates with other mini connectors to keep out contaminants and won’t come loose from shaking or vibration. They have a standard pole layout and housing thread size to reduce the chance you’ll mis-mate connectors.

When mated, these connectors meet IP67 and NEMA 6P for protection against dust, submersion, washdowns, and weather.

Plugs and sockets have a flexible cable that is good for applications with continuous motion, such as robotics.

Receptacles thread into panels and walls, so they work well in stationary or permanent installations.

Caps protect connectors and maintain their IP and NEMA ratings when not in use.

Thread adapters connect plugs and sockets that both have internal threads.

Rated to MIL-DTL-5015 specifications, these connectors are compatible with other products that meet the same standard. They can withstand high-vibration applications and frequent connection and disconnection. All come assembled with pins and sockets in place. When mating connectors, both the gender and housing thread location must be opposite.

Caps (sold separately) protect connectors when not in use.

Connect wires to your circuit board with these Molex KK push-in connectors. A good choice for prototyping, they require less force to disassemble than Amphenol PV connectors. However, this means that they are less secure in more demanding applications.

For a complete connection, choose a plug and housing with the number of poles that matches the number of wires you need to connect. You’ll also need one sleeve for each wire.

Plugs have a friction clip to securely hold the housing when mated. They also have an alignment key that ensures the plug and housing are mated correctly, which is helpful when you can’t get a good look during installation. To install the plug on your circuit board, push the contacts through the board’s holes and solder them in place. The pins are gold-plated brass, so they resist corrosion better than tin- or nickel-plated pins. This means they’ll have a good, long-lasting electrical connection.

Insertion tools (sold separately) are helpful for assembling small wires.

Extraction tools (sold separately) release the locking mechanism on sleeves to remove them from housings.
