What it is
The Molex 1726722006 is the 6-position member of the Super Sabre 172672 series — a high-current wire-to-board receptacle housing built around a 7.50 mm pitch and rated 34 A per circuit. The housing accepts a female blade socket contact (ordered separately per the note) and uses a latch lock to secure the mating half. It is black, single-row, and mounts free-hanging in-line — harness-side, not board-attached.
What the ratings mean
The 34 A per-circuit current is the headline figure, but for a PA nylon housing the usable current is governed by thermal derating — run the circuit near 125 °C ambient and the available current derates well below 34 A. Check the derating curve in the product drawing before committing a power rail. The 7.50 mm pitch is wider than the standard Super Sabre pitch, which means the housing footprint and the corresponding wire gauge range are sized for higher-current circuits. The latch lock provides audiblepositive engagement with the mating male tab header — critical in mobile or vibration-prone harness runs where a friction-fit alone is unreliable.
Where the class is used
Super Sabre connectors serve as high-current power interconnects in industrial automation, commercial vehicle harnesses, and appliance power-distribution assemblies — the 6-position housing carries 34 A per circuit. The position count suits branch power rails and motor-drive harness segments where several high-amperage circuits need a single latching in-line mate.
Sourcing and the contacts-not-included flag
The 1726722006 is listed Active with ROHS3 Compliant status — no L* lifecycle flag or official successor order code on record. The note is the key sourcing watch item: this housing ships without contacts. The matching crimp terminal for the Super Sabre 172672 blade socket must be added to the BOM line separately and must be specified to the correct wire gauge before the harness is assembled. Confirm the terminal's AWG range and crimp tooling before releasing the build.
