Product details

Right-angle 5.70mm pitch header for wire-to-board power

The 1720640006: It uses a 5.70mm pitch and 5.70mm row spacing, giving each circuit room for higher current without crowding the PCB trace. The right-angle through-hole mounting routes the mating cable parallel to the board, saving vertical space in enclosures where height is tight.

Locking ramp and glow wire compliance for demanding environments

A locking ramp on the shroud holds the mating receptacle in place under vibration — a practical feature for automotive and industrial wiring where a loose connector means a service call. The header carries a glow wire compliant rating and a UL94 V-0 housing, meeting the flame-retardant requirements for appliances and industrial control panels.

Gold-plated contacts and active production status

The solder tails are tin-plated for a reliable solder joint.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 1720640006 and 1720640005?

Both are 6-position, 5.70mm pitch Mega-Fit headers. The 1720640006 is a right-angle through-hole version, while the 1720640005 is a vertical through-hole version. The right-angle variant routes the cable parallel to the board; the vertical variant routes it perpendicular.
