Summary. Molex identifies 206461-0600 as an active Micro-Fit+ dual-row receptacle housing with six circuits, a 3.00 mm mating interface, black nylon resin, positive locking and glow-wire capability. This guide turns those public facts into a document-led selection and assembly handoff. It does not approve a terminal, header, plug, TPA, wire, tool, rating, substitute, stock position or finished application.
Freeze the exact orderable identity
Start with the EPPTC 206461-0600 product record and preserve every digit and hyphen in the BOM, enquiry, receiving plan and document register. The Molex 206461-0600 product page is the first-party identity anchor. Record its access date and the revision of every downloaded file. Do not shorten the record to “206461” or “Micro-Fit+ six-circuit housing”: the family includes other circuit counts, colours and keying variants that remain separate orderable parts.
Use the sales drawing to control geometry
The Molex 206461 sales drawing lists multiple suffixes. Locate the row for 206461-0600 before reading circuit count, polarization, colour or dimensions. A family drawing is useful only when the exact suffix is traced to the applicable view. Catalogue photography and a similar sample are discovery aids, not mating evidence. Record the proposed header or plug by its full part number and verify both sides in current controlled drawings.
Separate housing facts from contact and wire decisions
The housing record points toward the 206460 terminal family and 206462 TPA family, but a family association does not select a production terminal or retainer. The Molex Micro-Fit+ application specification explains the system-level crimp workflow. For each circuit, bind the exact contact number, plating, conductor construction, insulation diameter, strip length, applicator and acceptance criteria to the appropriate current documents. If any required item is missing, keep the decision open rather than inferring it from a connector image or a neighbouring suffix.
Build an assembly evidence packet
- Record 206461-0600 and the reviewed product-page, drawing and application-specification revisions.
- Identify the proposed mating header or plug, contacts and TPA by complete Molex numbers.
- Verify keying, latch engagement, cavity numbering and terminal orientation from controlled drawings.
- Bind wire, strip length, crimp-height and pull-test criteria to the selected terminal and tooling documents.
- Keep stock, price, lead time and packaging quantity in the current commercial record.
- Route any alternate through a separate dimensional, material and qualification comparison.
Use related catalogue pages as navigation
Browse the Molex brand page, connector-housing category, Micro-Fit Connector System series page, power-connections application page and wire-to-board application page to find separate catalogue records. These relationships help discovery but do not establish compatibility or project suitability.
FAQ
Does 206461-0600 include contacts or a TPA?
Do not assume so. Treat the housing, contacts and retainers as separate controlled orderable records unless the exact commercial record explicitly states otherwise.
Does the same pitch prove mating?
No. Pitch is one attribute. Verify keying, latch geometry, cavity layout, contact system and exact mating records.
Does active status mean stock is available?
No. Lifecycle status and current availability are different. Reconfirm quantity, price and lead time when requesting a quotation.
Receiving and change control
Receiving inspection should compare label and packaging identity with the purchase record, then check only visible features that the controlled drawing makes inspectable. It cannot prove hidden material properties, electrical performance or contact retention from appearance. When a supplier proposes a suffix change, alternate colour, different packaging code or related family item, reopen the evidence packet and compare the exact sales drawings and specifications. Keep both configurations traceable, identify unresolved differences and obtain the responsible project decision before changing the BOM or work instruction. Photographing a sample may support traceability, but it never replaces revision-controlled manufacturer documents or measured acceptance criteria. Archive the final evidence with the released configuration.
Conclusion
Reliable selection of Molex 206461-0600 starts with exact identity, then traces the mating part, contacts, TPA, wire and tooling to current first-party documents. For a document-led enquiry, contact Lianxinlian Electronics with the proposed mate, wire construction and source revisions.
