12-Circuit Receptacle Housing for Power Harnesses
The Molex 1727080112 is a 12-position, 2-row receptacle housing from the Mini-Fit TPA2 172708 series. It uses a 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch with matching row spacing, giving you a compact but power-capable footprint for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire harness assemblies. The free-hanging (in-line) design and latch lock fastening make it a field-serviceable choice for equipment that sees vibration — the lock clicks home and stays put.
Glow Wire Compliance and What It Means
The 1727080112 is marked glow wire compliant. That means the housing material has been tested to IEC 60695-2-11 and will self-extinguish within a set time when exposed to a glowing hot wire. If your end product goes into appliances, HVAC, or any equipment that must pass a glow-wire test, this housing saves you from adding secondary flame barriers. It's a compliance short-cut that the raw spec table doesn't fully explain.
The latch lock engages when fully seated — you'll hear it. The TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) feature in this series provides a secondary lock that pushes down over the terminal lances, so a partially seated terminal won't pass final inspection.
No end-of-life or successor has been announced.
