Molex Pico‑Clasp is a miniature 1.0 mm pitch crimp‑type wire‑to‑board connector series, well‑known for its tiny footprint and reliable inner‑locking mechanism. This ready‑to‑use terminal wire harness is assembled with Pico‑Clasp crimp receptacle housing and matched crimp contacts, serving as signal link between PCBA and various small‑form‑factor sensors.
Its slim dimension fits tightly inside confined device cavities. Dual plating options (tin or gold) cater to different service‑life and anti‑oxidation requirements. We deliver tailor‑made harness solutions: variable pin numbers (2‑15P), adjustable cable length, tin‑dipped ends or double‑ended connector setups. Main deployment covers temperature sensors, pressure sensors, micro‑detecting modules, small home appliances and portable smart hardware.

Advantages
Ultra‑Compact 1.0 mm Fine‑Pitch Layout
Minimized housing size saves precious inner space, perfectly matches micro‑sensor modules with limited installation room.
Built‑in Inner Positive Lock Design
Special inner‑latch construction prevents accidental unplugging caused by minor vibration or cable pulling, maintains stable sensor signal pickup.
Selectable Contact Plating Choices
Standard tin‑plated for general‑cost‑sensitive projects; gold‑plated contacts for scenarios demanding superior anti‑oxidation and long‑term stability.
High‑Adaptability for Sensor Signal Circuits
Optimized for low‑voltage weak‑signal transmission, lowers signal distortion for sensor feedback data.
Flexible Custom‑Built Harness Support
Adjust pin‑quantity, cable length, wire colors and termination styles based on sensor hardware drawings or physical samples.
Mature Mass‑Manufacturing Interconnect System
Well‑validated Pico‑Clasp series supports automated PCB SMT assembly, easy to integrate into large‑volume product production lines.

FAQ
Q1: What is Molex Pico‑Clasp used for?
A: It is Molex’s miniature 1.0 mm pitch wire‑to‑board crimp connector family, widely used for compact sensor signal and small‑current power interconnection inside space‑restricted devices.
Q2: What AWG wires fit Pico‑Clasp terminals?
A: The standard applicable wire range is 28‑32 AWG. Too thick wire will trigger crimping and insertion issues.
Q3: Gold‑plated vs tin‑plated contacts, how to choose?
A: Tin plating fits regular indoor static‑use scenarios; gold plating is preferred for devices facing vibration, humidity or long‑service‑life requirements.
Q4: Is Pico‑Clasp waterproof?
A: Standard variant is non‑waterproof, intended for inside‑enclosure installation only, not fit for exposed damp surroundings.
