The Molex 1512072211 is a 2-circuit receptacle housing from the CP-6.5 151207 series, designed for wire-to-wire or wire-to-board power interconnects where a compact 2-position connector is needed. The 6.50 mm pitch gives enough spacing for moderate current per circuit without crowding the harness — typical for appliance power feeds, industrial control panels, and automotive auxiliary circuits. The housing accepts female socket contacts (ordered separately) and terminates via crimp, then locks with a latch lock for vibration-resistant mating. The natural PA66 insulation carries a glow wire compliance rating, which means it meets the IEC 60695-2-11 glow wire test for flame resistance — a requirement for household appliances and equipment that must self-extinguish under fault conditions.
The 2-position count is the first check against your BOM line — this housing mates with the matching CP-6.5 header (male pin version) to complete a 2-circuit power pair. The latch lock fastening means the mated pair stays engaged under vibration — no secondary locking required for most panel or harness applications.
Mating and Termination
This is a receptacle housing — it receives female socket contacts that are crimped onto wires, then inserted into the cavities. The contacts are not included with the housing (: Contacts Not Included), so you need to order the matching crimp terminal separately from the CP-6.5 series. The housing mounts free-hanging (in-line), meaning it's designed for harness assembly rather than panel or PCB mounting. The latch lock on the top engages with the mating header's locking ramp for a positive audible click when fully mated.
Sourcing and Compliance
It is glow wire compliant per IEC 60695-2-11, which is a key spec for appliance and HVAC applications where the connector must not propagate flame. The housing is supplied in bulk packaging.
