Right-angle header for board-edge power delivery
The Molex 2157602003 is a 3-position, single-row right-angle header from the Micro-Fit+ 215760 series. It mates with Micro-Fit+ receptacle housings for board-to-cable/wire connections, carrying power or signal in a compact 3.00mm pitch footprint.
In a vibration-prone environment — think industrial panels or automotive interior — this positive lock prevents the pair from backing apart. Without it, the shear force from a tugged wire bundle could lift the solder joints over time.
Glow wire compliance and thermal rating
Glow wire compliant per IEC 60335-1, meaning the housing material — glass-filled LCP, UL94 V-0 — resists ignition under a 850°C glow wire test. This is a requirement for household appliances and other equipment where a hot component could contact the connector.
