21-Position MIC Receptacle Housing for Panel-Mount Power Interconnects
The natural polyamide (nylon) housing provides a UL94 V-0 flame rating typical of this series, suited for equipment enclosures requiring flame retardance.
What the 0.236" Row Spacing and 21 Positions Mean for Fit
The 0.236" (6.00 mm) row spacing is the key board-layout dimension — it must match the mating header's footprint exactly. With 21 positions across two rows, verify the mating header's position count and row layout before specifying. The panel-mount flange provides mechanical retention in the panel cutout, while the crimp termination allows field-serviceable wire replacement without desoldering.
This receptacle housing mates with a MIC series tab header (male pin header) of matching 21 positions and 0.236" row spacing. The tab-type contacts require a specific crimp terminal — the TE 172517-1 does not include contacts, so order the correct tab terminal separately. The crimp termination accepts a wire range typical of the MIC series (consult the terminal datasheet for exact AWG range).
