Molex CP-4.5 Wire-to-Wire Connectors

Molex CP-4.5 Wire-to-Wire Connectors combine superior locking with fool-proof keyed, color-coded, and polarized mating. Molex CP-4.5 Wire-to-Wire Connectors feature positive-lock latch design, eliminating incomplete mating and interlocking of plug and receptacle. The series also has positive interia lock, delivering an audible mating click, latch protection, and secure terminal and mating retention. An integral beam supports both ends of the connector housing to prevent wire-snagging and polarization keys on housing ribs prevent mis-mating. The wide spectrum of housing colors provides quick identification of mating combinations. CP-4.5 is ideal for use in a variety of consumer, industrial, and power applications.
