The 172316-1216 is a Molex Ultra-Fit 172316 series header with 16 positions in 2 rows at 0.138" (3.50 mm) pitch, loaded all positions.
Rated 15 A at 600 VAC/DC, this header delivers high current density for a 3.50 mm pitch connector.
Design engineers need to verify that the 15A rating meets their power requirements before specifying the header.
Regulatory compliance affects procurement decisions and product acceptance in many markets.
Sourcing buyers need immediate availability and lead time to fill BOM lines and avoid project delays.
Mechanical fit validation requires exact pitch (3.50mm) and row count (2) to ensure PCB layout compatibility.
Engineers and techs need cross-references to avoid mismatched mating parts and ensure system reliability.
Brokers and buyers verify active status to avoid obsolete parts that could disrupt supply chains.
