The 1720641004 is a 4-position, 2-row header from the Molex Mega-Fit series, designed to carry power from a PCB to a cable assembly. The 5.70mm pitch gives you room to route wider traces on the board without crowding the adjacent circuits. It mates with a Mega-Fit receptacle housing (sold separately) and locks with a ramp latch — that latch keeps the pair together when the equipment vibrates, which is why you see this connector in automotive and industrial cabinets.

Frequently asked questions
What is the mating connector for 1720641004?
The 1720641004 mates with a Molex Mega-Fit receptacle housing (female side) that accepts crimp terminals. The receptacle part number depends on circuit count and keying — confirm the mating half against your cable assembly drawing before ordering.
Is 1720641004 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes — the 1720641004 is listed for automotive, industrial, and telecommunications use. The locking ramp and shrouded 4-wall housing protect the contacts from vibration and misalignment. The housing material is UL94 V-0 rated LCP, which handles underhood temperatures.
