The Molex 1512072409 is a 4-position, dual-row receptacle housing from the CP-6.5 151207 series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board harness applications. It carries a 0.256" (6.50 mm) pitch and matching row spacing, giving enough clearance for 14–18 AWG power wiring common in appliance and industrial interconnect. A key feature is Glow Wire Compliance per IEC 60335-1, which means the PA6 housing resists ignition from a glowing heating element — a requirement for household appliances and lighting fixtures sold into European and Asian markets. The red color is standard for the CP-6.5 series and aids visual identification during harness assembly.
Terminals and Sourcing — Contacts Not Included
The housing accepts a female socket contact terminated via crimp, which then locks into the cavity with a secondary retention tang. Without the correct terminal, the housing provides no electrical path; the BOM line for the full connector pair must include both the housing and the per-wire contacts. The base product number is 151207, covering both the receptacle and its mating header variants.
This receptacle mates with the CP-6.5 series male headers (same 151207 base number) that share the 0.256" (6.50 mm) pitch and dual-row layout. For a complete mated pair, order the header, this receptacle housing, and the crimp terminals for each wire.
