Product details

4-position right-angle header – pitch and orientation first

The 1718573004: The right-angle through-hole termination routes the mating cable parallel to the board, saving vertical clearance in tight enclosures. The single-wall shroud guides the mating connector and protects the male pins from bending during insertion, but leaves one side open for visual alignment of pin one. The friction lock holds the mated pair against moderate vibration — enough for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecom equipment per the application listing.

Contact finish and current path

Tin is the standard choice for cost-sensitive, low-cycle applications — it oxidises over time but the wiping action of each mate clears the surface.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 1718573004 shrouded?

Yes — it has a single-wall shroud (Shrouded – 1 Wall). This guides the mating half and protects the pins from bending, but leaves one side open for visual pin-one alignment.

What is the pinout of the Molex 1718573004?

It is a single-row 4-position header. Pin one is typically marked by a chamfer or notch on the shroud. The remaining three positions follow sequentially along the row. No internal pinout is defined — it depends on your circuit assignment.
