16AWG 2Pin Male to Male Molex Plug Cable Extension Cord for Home Appliance
1. Detailed Introduction
2pin Molex cable is a two-pin cable based on the Molex connector standard, which is usually used for low-voltage, low-current electronic equipment connections. Molex is a common industrial standard connector, known for its reliability, durability and ease of use.
Structure:
- It consists of two metal pins (usually copper or tinned copper) and an insulating plastic shell.
- The cable is usually insulated with PVC or silicone, with good flexibility and temperature resistance.
Connection method:
- It adopts a plug-in design to support quick connection and disconnection.
- Some models have a locking mechanism (such as a snap or friction lock) to prevent accidental detachment.

5. Purchase suggestions
- Current/voltage requirements: select the appropriate specifications according to the power of the equipment (such as 18AWG cable supports higher current).
- Length: select the appropriate length to reduce voltage drop (too long cable may cause power loss).
- Connector type: confirm that the male (Male) or female (Female) matches the requirements.
6. Safety precautions
- Voltage/current limit: do not overload (common specifications are 250V/5A).
- Plug and unplug operation: avoid plugging and unplugging with power on to prevent short circuit or arc.
- Environmental adaptability: avoid high temperature, humidity or corrosive environment.
- Insulation inspection: regularly check whether the cable sheath is damaged.
7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can it be used for AC power?
A: Yes, but you need to confirm the rated voltage (usually 250V AC).
Q: Does it support high current?
A: Depends on the wire diameter (e.g. 16AWG supports 10A, 22AWG only supports 3A).
Q: Can the length be customized?
A: Some suppliers provide customization services, but you need to pay attention to impedance matching.
