Molex KK 396 Series Female Crimp Terminal, 26AWG Min, 22AWG Max

2478 and 2578 series crimp receptacle terminals with a dual cantilever design for use in the KK 396 and KK508 series crimp connector housings. These KK series crimp terminals have a square post contact area that interfaces with the mating male pin header by using a spring-like contact. Wire size ranges of 26 AWG to 22 AWG (series 2578) and 24 AWG to 18 AWG (series 2478) are available with a range of contact platings

• Wire gauge of 18 to 26 AWG
• Brass or Phosphor Bronze material
• Tin or Gold Contact Plating

Making multiple connections to your PCB is a breeze with this crimp terminal from Molex. The female connector is designed for use with KK 396-series connector housings (such as 679-5072) and accepts wire sizes between 22 and 26AWG. The square post area uses spring-like contact to keep a connection with the male pin header. A locking tang ensures the terminal stays firmly in place once it's loaded, so you can count on a firm hold, even on moving machinery.

• Phosphor bronze material offers strength and high conductivity for reliable signal transmission
• Tin plating resists corrosion for a long service life
• Dependable in temperatures from 0°C to +75°C

• Medical facilities
• Data communications
• Automotive sector

Crimping a wire ensures a gas-tight seal, which maximises the electrical contact area and supports steady transmission. With oxygen and moisture shut out, the wire is less vulnerable to corrosion.
