The term **01766** most frequently refers to a specific part number associated with **Molex** (a major electronic connector manufacturer), specifically within their **KK 396** connector series. Below is an overview of the technical specifications and components related to this electronic part. --- ### 1. Part Identification: Molex 0009501766 In the electronics industry, this number is often the short-hand for the Molex manufacturer part number **09-50-1766**. It is a housing component used to manage wire-to-board connections. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | KK 396 (3.96mm Pitch) | | **Component Type** | Crimp Housing (Socket) | | **Number of Circuits** | 16 | | **Pitch** | 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) | | **Material** | Nylon (UL 94V-2) | | **Color** | Natural (White/Off-white) | ### 2. Key Technical Characteristics * **Friction Lock:** This housing features a locking ramp that ensures a secure connection to the header, preventing accidental disconnection due to vibration. * **Single Row:** It is a single-row connector, making it low-profile and easy to align on a PCB. * **Stackable:** Designed to be placed side-by-side with other connectors of the same series. ### 3. Compatible Components To use the 01766 housing in a circuit, you require complementary parts: 1. **Crimp Terminals:** The metal contacts that are crimped onto wires and inserted into the housing (e.g., Molex 2478 or 2578 series). 2. **Mating Headers:** The male pins soldered to the PCB (e.g., Molex 41791 or 41792 series). ### 4. Common Applications Due to its 3.96mm pitch, it is larger than standard "computer" connectors (like 2.54mm headers), allowing it to carry higher currents. * **Power Supplies:** Internal power routing for industrial machines. * **Gaming/Arcade Machines:** Used extensively in older arcade hardware and pinball machines. * **Vending Machines:** Connection points for motors and coin mechs. * **Home Appliances:** Control board wiring for white goods. --- ### Summary Table: Electrical Ratings | Parameter | Rating | | :--- | :--- | | **Current (Max)** | 7.0A per contact (depending on wire gauge) | | **Voltage (Max)** | 250V AC/DC | | **Temperature Range** | 0°C to +75°C |
