What it is and where it sits in the series
The Molex 1726722004 is the 4-circuit member of the Super Sabre 172672 series — a single-row free-hanging power receptacle housing rated 34 A per circuit at a 7.50 mm pitch. The connector uses a latch-lock fastening and accepts a separate female blade socket crimp terminal (ordered independently) into the PA/nylon housing body. The black PA/nylon insulator carries an operating range of -40°C to 125°C, which covers most in-cabinet and engine-adjacent harness zones in industrial and transportation equipment.
What the ratings mean for the fit
The 7.50 mm pitch sets the housing envelope and routing density. Check that the panel cut-out or PCB footprint matches before committing. Contacts Not Included — the 1726722004 is the housing only. The matching female blade socket terminal must be ordered separately to complete the mated pair. Confirm the wire gauge range and crimp tooling for the terminal before specifying. Latch-lock fastening holds the mated pair against mechanical vibration — the primary use case for this connector class is in equipment where harness assemblies see持续的机械激励, such as industrialautomation panels and commercial vehicle looms.
Sourcing and compliance
The 1726722004 carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 Compliant — it is currently in normal production and available to order against BOM quantities. No official LTTB or NRND notice on record.
Mating and termination
The 1726722004 is the receptacle half — it accepts the female blade socket crimp terminal and provides the latching feature that mates with the corresponding plug or header body. Ensure the mating half is sourced from the same Super Sabre 172672 series for mechanical and electrical compatibility. Crimp termination on the separate terminal accepts a defined wire gauge range — the exact range depends on the terminal ordered, not the housing. Verify AWG compatibility before releasing the harness drawing. Free-hanging in-line mounting means the connector floats in the harness run — this gives routing flexibility but requires strain relief on both wire exits for vibration duty.
