Product details

What this housing does not include is the terminals themselves — those are ordered separately as a line item on the BOM.

Picking the terminals and the mating half

The mating half is a Mini-Fit Sigma header, either vertical or right-angle, in the same 16-circuit, dual-row, 4.20mm pitch configuration. If you're re-pinning an existing harness on site, verify the terminal part number against the wire size — the contact body and insulation grip change with AWG.

Where the ratings matter in the build

Glow wire compliance (IEC 60695-2-11) means this housing is accepted in appliances and equipment that require a flame-resistant enclosure — the PA material is formulated to self-extinguish. The latch lock is a positive-stop design: it prevents the housing from backing off the header when the harness is routed and tied down, which is the failure mode that shows up as an intermittent power drop on a conveyor or a packaging line.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 1727081016 housing include contacts?

No — the 1727081016 is a bare receptacle housing. The female socket crimp terminals must be ordered separately as a distinct line item on the BOM. The housing itself is the shell that holds and aligns the contacts after they are crimped onto the wires.

What is the mating connector for 1727081016?

The mating half is a Mini-Fit Sigma header with the same 16-circuit, dual-row, 4.20mm pitch configuration. It can be a vertical or right-angle through-hole header, depending on your board layout. The housing's latch lock engages the header's locking ramp for a vibration-resistant mate.

Is 1727081016 glow wire compliant?

Yes — the housing is marked glow wire compliant, meaning the polyamide (nylon) insulation material meets the IEC 60695-2-11 glow wire test. This is a requirement for connectors used inside household appliances and certain industrial equipment enclosures.
