What this connector is
The 173708-0001: Gold plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) on the contacts gives it the durability for repeated mating cycles and lower contact resistance at full current than a tin-plated equivalent would hold at 60 A. The black housing carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operates across -40°C to 105°C, which covers most industrial enclosure environments without derating the current rating.
Sourcing and compliance
Lined up as Active with ROHS3 Compliant status — the BOM line holds for new production builds. The single-position count means there is no pin-compatible alternative within this series to increase circuit count — any expansion requires a different series entirely. No official successor or cross-reference is listed.
