Note: PCB trace design may greatly affect temperature rise results.
** Ratings shown represent MAXIMUM current carrying capacity of a fully loaded connector
with all circuits powered. Ratings are based on a 30°C maximum temperature rise limit over
ambient (room temperature). Above charts are intended as a guideline. Current rating is
application dependent. Appropriate de-rating is required depending on factors such as higher
ambient temperature, smaller copper weight of PCB traces, gross heating from adjacent
modules or components and other factors that influence connector performance.

10.0 OTHER INFORMATION
10.1 GAGES AND FIXTURES
It is recommended that test plugs (Series 44281) be used for continuity testing of receptacles.
Standard mating parts should not be used for harness testing.
NOTE: The use of unauthorized testing devices and/or probes with a Molex product may cause
damage to and affect functionality of the Molex product, and such use may void any and all
warranties, expressed or implied.
10.2 CABLE TIE AND OR WIRE TWIST LOCATION
CKT Sizes Dim T Min.
2-6 .50” (12.7 mm)
8 .75’ (19.1 mm)
10-12 1.00” (25.40 mm)
14-16 1.25”(31.75 mm)
18-20 1.50”(38.09 mm)
22.24 1.75”(44.45 mm)
The “T” dimension defines a “free” length of wire, or a length of wire that is not subject to
significant bias by external factors such as a wire tie, wire twisting, or other means of
bending or deforming of the wires that repositions them from their natural relaxed state
or location where they enter the housing. Wires are to be dressed in such a manner
to allow the terminals to float freely in the pocket. This dimension is general recommendation
and may need to be adjusted for different wire gauges and wire type and insulation thickness
and insulation material.
