8-position, 3.00 mm pitch, locking ramp
The 2165711008: This is a single-row, 8-position header from the Molex Micro-Fit+ 216571 series, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. The 3.00 mm pitch sets the board footprint and the per-contact current ceiling — at the rated current, temperature rise stays below the LCP housing material limit. The shrouded 4-wall design protects the male pins during mating and prevents stubbing against the housing. A locking ramp on the header engages with the matching receptacle housing, providing a positive audible latch that resists vibration-induced disconnection. The board guide aids alignment during through-hole soldering, reducing assembly errors on the line.
Tin contacts, through-hole termination, wide temperature range
Tin is cost-effective for high-volume production where the connector is mated infrequently after initial assembly. Glow wire compliant per the evidence — this is a specific safety certification for connectors in household appliances and similar equipment subject to IEC 60335-1 glow-wire testing.
