Additional Details:

The 087438-0343 housing typically accepts Molex Micro-Latch crimp terminals. The housing material is typically a UL 94V-0 rated plastic, providing flammability resistance. The connector system is designed for a specific wire gauge range. The pitch (distance between contacts) is designed for high-density applications. The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +105°C. This connector is often used in applications where a secure and compact wire-to-board connection is needed. The mating header is typically a through-hole or surface mount component that solders to the PCB. The color of the housing is often natural (white) or black.
