Product details

6-Pin Right-Angle Header for Board-to-Cable Links

The 1721731006: The unshrouded design allows the mating receptacle to self-align during assembly. The tin-plated solder tails (100.0 µinch) provide reliable solder joint wetting through wave or hand soldering.

No official cross-reference or pin-compatible alternative is listed from the original manufacturer. The 172173 base number covers the series; confirm the mating half (typically a KK396 crimp receptacle housing) before committing the BOM line.

Through-hole, right-angle mounting with 0.147" (3.73 mm) post length for solder tail insertion. The 0.450" (11.43 mm) mating pin length provides ample engagement depth for standard KK396 receptacle housings.

Application Range

The 3.96 mm pitch and gold plating suit it for power distribution or signal interconnect in environments where repeated mating is expected.
