The 207609-7: The mounting flange and latch holder fastening mean this header locks positively to the mating cable plug — you should hear it click. Rated for 600 V and -55°C to 130°C, it suits industrial control cabinets, automotive underhood compartments, and outdoor telecom gear where the housing sees both temperature extremes and occasional washdown.
