The 172106-6: The detent lock gives a positive tactile click when mated, which helps in applications where the connector pair sees vibration from nearby motors or panel doors.
In a control cabinet where the connector is cycled during commissioning and then left, tin is fine. For frequent field disconnect, gold would last longer, but the series doesn't offer it on this part.
