With 21 positions across two rows, verify the mating header's position count and row layout before specifying. The panel-mount flange provides mechanical retention in the panel cutout, while the crimp termination allows field-serviceable wire replacement without desoldering. This receptacle housing mates with a MIC series tab header (male pin header) of matching 21 positions and 0.236\" row spacing. The tab-type contacts require a specific crimp terminal — the TE 172517-1 does not include contacts, so order the correct tab terminal separately. The crimp termination accepts a wire range typical of the MIC series (consult the terminal datasheet for exact AWG range).","metaTitle":"TE 172517-1 MIC Receptacle Housing, 21 Pos","metaDescription":"TE 172517-1 MIC (Multi-Interlock) receptacle housing, 21 positions, 2 rows, 0.236\" (6.00mm) row spacing, panel mount, crimp termination.
