Molex 16 Circuit Receptacle and Plug Housing w/Terminals AWG 18-24 Mini-Fit Jr

I struggled with this Molex connector at first because I'm used to Deutsch connectors where it's not a big deal for the wire to be in the pin slightly. On these Molex connectors though you really want to avoid the wire being much further past the crimp. Lesson learned, my 2nd one went much smoother.

Easy to install as a replacement connector.

Ultra fast shipping and exact fit

Pins arrived damaged

Took me a bit to get them to work. I had started by putting what seems to be too large of a wire (larger covering) and the pins wouldn't latch. Once I used smaller wire with narrow covering, they worked OK. I don't have a crimper, so I had to do each one manually with a pointed nose pliers, and solder them. Worked out OK, but takes patience.

I really appreciated the extra pins and sockets!! Easy to assemble.

Fits together well, no rattle and tight connections withstand offroad use.

I've done many connector repairs, but the first time I have used these specific brand and model connectors. I found that the female connectors went into the housing fairly easily, with a positive click once it locked. However, the other side, the pin side, did not go into the connector easily at all and I broke a couple attempting it.Which leads me to the next issue: they don't supply an adequate amount of extra metal connectors. These are very fragile, thin pieces of metal and there's bound to be a few mistakes or breaks with people like me. I'd think we are talking pennies for the material and these are spit out by a machine, so why not throw in 5 or 6 extra ???
