The part number **02-08-1201** refers to a specific electronic component manufactured by **Molex**. It is a high-quality electrical terminal used extensively in power and signal applications. --- ## Technical Specifications | Feature | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Molex | | **Series** | 1190 (Standard .093") | | **Product Type** | Crimp Terminal | | **Gender** | Male (Pin) | | **Material** | Brass | | **Plating** | Tin (Sn) | | **Wire Gauge (AWG)** | 14, 16, 18, 20 AWG | | **Current Rating** | Up to 14.0A (varies by housing) | | **Voltage Rating** | 600V | --- ## Key Features ### 1. The .093" Standard This part is a member of the **Standard .093" Pin and Socket** family. The "093" refers to the diameter of the pin (0.093 inches or 2.36mm). This is one of the most common standards in the industry for medium-power connections. ### 2. Crimp Termination The 02-08-1201 is designed to be **crimped** onto a wire. Unlike soldering, crimping provides a mechanical bond that is highly resistant to vibration and thermal cycling. ### 3. Material and Plating * **Base Metal:** Brass provides good conductivity and mechanical strength. * **Plating:** The Tin plating prevents oxidation and ensures a reliable electrical contact over time, while keeping the cost lower than gold-plated alternatives. --- ## Common Applications Because of its versatility and high current rating, this terminal is found in: * **Computer Power Supplies:** Used in older disk drive connectors (Molex connectors). * **Home Appliances:** Refrigerators, microwaves, and washing machines. * **Automotive:** Interior lighting and dashboard electronics. * **Industrial Equipment:** Power distribution for sensors and control panels. --- ## Recommended Tooling To install this part correctly, a specific crimp tool is required. Using standard pliers will likely result in a loose connection or high electrical resistance. ```bash # Common compatible tools: Molex Hand Crimp Tool: 63819-1200 Extraction Tool: 11-03-0006 ```
