The housing is molded from natural polyamide (PA66) with glass fill, giving it the mechanical stiffness to handle the wide pitch without flexing under wire pull. The latch lock provides positive retention against the mating header — the lock snaps in place and holds under vibration. This is a glow wire compliant part, meaning the housing material passes IEC 60695-2-11 glow-wire testing, which is a requirement for many household appliance and lighting applications.
Contacts are ordered separately — don't miss this
The listing note says it: Contacts Not Included.
Mating half and fit
The 9.00 mm pitch is wide enough that the header pins are spaced well apart — good for power wiring where creepage distance matters.
Active lifecycle status on this part — it is a current-production housing in the Grace Inertia GIC family. No official second-source or cross-reference on record.
