Glow wire compliance means it passes the IEC 60695-2-11 test, a requirement for appliances and equipment where the connector sits near a potential ignition source. The 3.96mm pitch gives enough room between circuits to handle moderate power levels without tracking, while keeping the overall width compact for a 6-way harness. The housing ships empty. This is standard for L1NK 396 housings; the buyer selects the terminal plating (tin vs gold) and wire range (typically 18-24 AWG) independently of the housing. The crimp termination gives a gas-tight connection when properly tooled, and the terminal locks into the housing cavity with an audible click. If you're filling a BOM line, make sure the terminal part number is on the same purchase order — the housing alone won't make a circuit. ## Glow Wire and Latch Lock — Two Specs That Matter in the Field Glow wire compliance is the feature that separates this housing from a standard PA66 part. In an appliance or industrial control panel, the connector must not propagate a flame if the wire overheats — the glow wire test confirms the material self-extinguishes. The latch lock gives an audible and tactile snap when mated, which the field service tech can feel through a glove. No secondary locking mechanism is needed for most applications, but if the harness sees high vibration, confirm the header's latch ramp engages fully.","metaTitle":"Molex L1NK 396 2074580006 Receptacle Housing, 6 Pos, 3.96mm","metaDescription":"Molex 2074580006 L1NK 396 receptacle housing, 6 circuits, 0.156\" (3.96mm) pitch, glow wire compliant, latch lock.
