Product details

8 positions on a 5.70 mm power pitch

The 1720651008: This is a through-hole, shrouded header from the Molex Mega-Fit series — 8 circuits in two rows, each on a 5.70 mm pitch. That pitch is nearly double a standard 2.54 mm signal header, which tells the board layout engineer this is a power interconnect: the extra spacing gives you room for wider traces, higher creepage, and a 30 µin gold mating surface rated for repeated disconnect cycles.

Mates with the Mega-Fit receptacle housing (sold separately) using the locking ramp. Tin post finish (100 µin) for reliable solder wetting; gold on the mating beam for corrosion resistance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pitch of Molex 1720651008?

The mating pitch is 0.224" (5.70 mm) between contacts and between rows.

Does 1720651008 have a locking mechanism?

Yes — the shroud includes a locking ramp that secures the mating cable housing against vibration.

Is 1720651008 RoHS compliant?

Yes, it is ROHS3 Compliant.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 1720651008 in this Pin Headers family?

The Mega-Fit series includes several 8-position headers with the same 5.70 mm pitch and locking ramp. Verify the exact mating half and plating grade before substituting — the 172065 base number covers multiple contact finish options.
