MOLEX Pico-Clasp 501193 Crimp Socket Contact, 28 AWG, Gold Plated

The MOLEX Pico-Clasp 501193 is a precision-engineered socket crimp contact, designed for creating high-reliability electrical connections in demanding electronic applications. It features a 28 AWG wire size specification, making it perfect for fine-pitch wire-to-board assemblies where space is at a premium and signal integrity is paramount.

The contact pins are finished with a high-quality gold plating. This plating is crucial for ensuring excellent electrical conductivity, providing a reliable, low-resistance path for signal transmission. It also offers superior corrosion resistance, maintaining a stable connection over the long term, which is essential for sensitive electronic circuits and data lines.

As a crimp-style contact, it is designed to be securely attached to the end of a wire using a specialised crimping tool. Once crimped, the contact can be inserted into the corresponding housing of a Pico-Clasp connector system, creating a secure and detachable interface. This type of connection is favoured in industries such as telecommunications, computing, medical devices, and industrial automation for its durability and ease of assembly during production.
