Molex Mega-Fit Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header, 8 Contacts, 5.7 mm Pitch, 2 Row, Shrouded 172065-0008

Molex 172065-0008 Mega-Fit Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header is a high current density connector specifically designed for power and industrial electronics requiring compact and reliable wire-to-board connections. With 8 contacts arranged in 2 rows and a 5.7 mm pitch, this shrouded header ensures secure mating and solid electrical performance with gold-plated copper alloy contacts.

The housing is constructed from liquid crystal polymer material rated UL 94 V-0 for flammability and is Glow-Wire compliant, offering enhanced safety and durability even in demanding operating conditions from -40°C to 120°C. The through hole mounting ensures firm PCB retention and precise location during assembly.

This PCB header supports currents up to 23 amperes per contact and maximum voltage of 600 volts, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, power supply, and manufacturing applications. The positive locking feature provides an audible click to confirm proper mating with compatible Mega-Fit receptacles, improving assembly reliability and safety.

Contact plating with gold provides excellent corrosion resistance and consistent conductivity, ideal for harsh environments. The tail pin length of 3.73 mm facilitates standard soldering processes.

Common uses include power distribution in industrial equipment, connectors in HVAC systems, manufacturing machinery wiring, and electronic control panels. Designed with 8 male contacts in 2 rows for high current density at 23A.
