Does anyone know another source for this Molex 5.08 mm socket ? Tried registering with digikey last night, its seemed fine. This morning i get an email saying can not process registration with out more information (name address etc) which i provided first time round. The email they sent didn't even provide a hyperlink to this " more information needed " what a totally stupid company. I'm with other electronics providers, none go through all this nonsence. Then it ask me to reset pass word.... Waste of time. Anyone know another supplier for this Molex socket ? Thanks for any help. |

I think RS stocks them. (UK company) Try a google search using "RS Molex KK 508" |

Here's an idea Use a 5 way 2.54 molex and just populate 3 pins for even lower cost use some dupont sockets - I get the 40 way strips and cut to suit https://www.rapidonline.com/jyk-h2500-05-5-way-crimp-housing-22-0920 (molex compatible) ps. Housings don't come supplied with pins, unless specified What country are you from it may help if you put it in your forum profile |

The issue you have is going up in pitch size, changes the pin/socket size, as the pin needs to be able to handle higher current it has to be thicker tbh in this situation I would solder the leads directly to the component and heat shrink the leads or make up a small pcb |

As far as I'm aware RS will only sell to business or company's. So I don't think I can go down that route. Thanks for the replys, yes I know the pin socket size goes up in size to accommodate larger currents. I put the TO218 transistors up to a pc power Molex connector and it's way to big in socket size. Although the pitch is perfect. The Molex 2.54 mm socket is the one that fits like a glove, although it states up to 4 Amps on the Molex company website page. The Molex 5.08 still retains the friction fit, and the pin pitch is perfect. There rated up to 7 Amps, I've not got one to offer it up to the transistors legs to see fit and finish etc. I probably have to go with the Molex 2.54 mm socket because it's easily available. Unfortunately the Molex 5.08 mm socket seems a bit elusive in the friction fit version. The pc pin and socket version is readily available, but that's way to large in socket holes. It looks like there's two versions of the Molex 5.08 mm system, one the friction fit, and two the socket pin fit. Thanks again for all the help. Straight solder up is the quickest option, and can handle all the current. I was just looking for a quick swap out interface idea. |
