The 2086591640: This is a 16-position, dual-row plug header from the Molex iGrid 2.0 series (base number 208659). Gold plating on the mating pins (3.94 µinch) gives moderate corrosion protection and supports repeated mate/unmate cycles — adequate for field-service or test-point duty where the connector is disconnected quarterly.
Latch lock and shrouded housing — vibration-resistant mate
Current rating depends on wire — terminal selection matters
The connector's current rating is not a fixed number — it varies by wire gauge and the crimp terminal used. For a build-to-print harness, select the matching iGrid 2.0 crimp terminal (sold separately) and size the wire per the terminal's ampacity table. The header itself does not limit current until the contact temperature rise exceeds the housing material limit. Voltage rating is 250 VAC/DC, covering 24 V, 48 V, and 120 VAC industrial circuits.
