The 15-97-8087 is an 8-circuit right-angle header from the Molex Mini-Fit TPA family, with gold-plated contacts and a flange for panel-mount retention. The TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) feature locks each crimp terminal into the housing, preventing backed-out contacts that cause intermittent opens under vibration. On a conveyor or vehicle application, that means fewer service callbacks for loose pins.
Box packaging suits medium-volume harness builds; the header ships in a tray or tube, not cut tape.
