The 1720650208: This is a 8-position, 2-row header on a 5.70mm pitch — the same pitch as the row spacing, so the contact grid is symmetrical. The 0.224" (5.70mm) pitch is wider than typical signal headers, which means the board traces between pads have more room to route, and the current capacity per circuit is higher than a 2.54mm pitch part.
This header mates with a Mega-Fit receptacle housing (e.g., Molex 172064 series) that accepts the matching crimp terminals. The locking ramp on the header engages the latch on the receptacle for vibration-resistant retention.
Yes, the header is listed as glow wire compliant, suitable for equipment requiring glow wire testing per IEC 60695-2-11.
The mating pitch is 0.224" (5.70mm), with the same 0.224" (5.70mm) row-to-row spacing, giving a symmetrical 2-row grid.
