Product Overview — 2-Position High-Current Power Plug Housing
The Molex 1726732002 is a 2-circuit plug housing from the Super Sabre 172673 series, designed as a free-hanging, in-line power interconnect. It carries a 34 A per circuit rating at a 7.50 mm pitch, making it a compact solution for bus-level current distribution in harness assemblies. The housing accepts male blade contacts (sold separately) and secures the mate with a locking ramp for vibration-resistant connections in automotive, industrial, and power-supply applications. The polyamide insulation is rated for -40°C to 125°C, covering under-hood and cabinet environments.
Ratings and What They Mean for Your Design
The 34 A per circuit rating is the headline spec — each contact carries bus-level current, sized for the main DC rail or power bus rather than a signal line. The 7.50 mm pitch provides creepage distance for that current without forcing an oversized board footprint, though this is a wire-to-wire or wire-to-board housing, not a board-mounted header. The locking ramp ensures the mated pair stays engaged under vibration, a common requirement in automotive and industrial harness routing.
Mating and Contact Compatibility
This plug housing mates with the matching Super Sabre receptacle housing (sold separately). The crimp terminals — male blade contacts — are not included with this housing and must be ordered as a separate line item. The 2-position, single-row layout is keyed by the housing geometry; no additional keying options are listed. The free-hanging mounting type suits inline harness splicing or panel feed-through where a PCB header is not used.
