This receptacle housing mates with a Mini-Fit Sigma male header of the same 4.20mm pitch and circuit count — a 10-circuit, dual-row header. For the wire side, you need the correct crimp terminals: Molex's Mini-Fit Sigma female socket contacts, sized for the wire gauge your application requires (typically 18-24 AWG depending on the specific terminal part number). The housing does not include a TPA (terminal position assurance) retainer, so verify full terminal insertion by feel and a gentle tug test on each wire after assembly. This is a field-serviceable design — terminals can be removed with a proper extraction tool if a wire needs replacement.
Glow Wire and Temperature — Where This Housing Fits
The Glow Wire Compliant feature (per IEC 60695-2-11) means the polyamide housing material is formulated to self-extinguish and not drip flaming particles when exposed to a 750°C glow wire. This is a regulatory requirement for household appliances, HVAC controls, and lighting ballasts sold into European and some Asian markets. ROHS3 compliance covers the EU RoHS exemption list through 2024 — no lead, mercury, cadmium, or restricted phthalates in the housing material. No separate UL or VDE listing appears on record, but the Glow Wire Compliant rating implies the housing material has passed that specific flammability test.
