7-Position MIC Header with Locking Ramp
The shrouded 4-wall housing and locking ramp fastening provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection — the ramp clicks into the mating housing and stays latched until deliberately released.
Board Footprint and Routing Fit
Compare with the single-row 1-2232960-3 (3 positions, 0.098" pitch, 2 A) or the right-angle 1376366-8 (8 positions, 0.087" pitch, 5 A, latch holder): the 172036-1's dual-row layout with locking ramp targets a different mechanical fit — it's for applications needing a wider, more robust board-to-wire interface rather than a dense, low-profile one.
The base product number is 172036, so mating housings and terminals in the MIC family share that base code for cross-referencing.
