8-position, 4.20mm pitch vertical header with locking ramp
The 1724470208: This is a Molex Mini-Fit Jr 172447 header, 8 circuits in two rows on a 4.20mm pitch — the same pitch as the standard Mini-Fit Jr receptacle, so it mates directly with the 172648 or 172649 series housings loaded with 44476 or 44478 terminals.
Glow-wire rated, active production
The housing is polyamide (nylon) rated UL94 V-2 and marked glow-wire compliant — that's a check-box for appliance and telecom equipment approvals where the connector sits near a potential ignition source. Production status is Active per the manufacturer, with no obsolescence notice on record. ROHS3 compliant.
Mating half and field-fit notes
Mates with any standard Mini-Fit Jr receptacle housing (e.g., 172648 or 172649 series) using crimp terminals 44476-2000 (male) or 44478-2000 (female) for 18-24 AWG wire. The 4-wall shroud prevents misalignment during blind mating — useful when the header is recessed in a panel cutout. The PCB footprint is the standard 4.20mm pitch dual-row layout with 0.138" (3.50mm) post length — fits a 1.6mm board with enough tail for a good solder fillet. Confirm the board thickness before committing.
