The 1720640008 is a Molex Mega-Fit header with 8 circuits on a 5.70 mm pitch, arranged in 2 rows with 5.70 mm row spacing.
A built-in board guide aids alignment during pick-and-place assembly.
The 1720640008 header mates with a Molex Mega-Fit receptacle housing (e.g., 172063 series) that accepts the matching crimp terminal. The 5.70 mm pitch and 8-circuit count must match; the locking ramp on the header engages the receptacle latch.
