Ultra-Fit Power Connectors 3.50mm Pitch Ultra-Fit Tangless connector is a wire-to-board system that offers a 3.50mm pitch, a higher-current rating of 14.0A, and superior design options for flexibility and efficient assembly Features and Advantages Multiple mechanical keying and color-coded options Allow same-circuit, multiple connector use with virtually no chance of cross mating. Color coding provides visual indication of the proper mating connector — enabling faster assembly 17% reduction in pitch over similar power connectors Current-dense design saves PCB space. Allows for smaller packaging without sacrificing current‑carrying capabilities Optional TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) retainer Guarantees the terminal is fully seated in the housing to reduce terminal back-out. Retains terminal if main retention feature fails Ultra low mating force terminal Reduces operator fatigue and improves assembly compliance for high-circuit applications Positive-lock housing with anti-snag design Ensures mated connector assemblies will not accidentally disengage. Provides an audible click while mating. Protects latch from damage due to wire snags Fully isolated terminals Protect against potential damage of the header and receptacle terminals during handling and mating Terminal interface with six independent points of contact (split-box terminal design) Offers redundant, secondary current paths for longterm performance and reliability Dual-Row Right-Angle Header 172316 Series Dual-Row Vertical Header 172298 and 172299 Series Single-Row Right-Angle Header 172310 Series Single-Row Vertical Header 172286 and 172287 Series Ultra-Fit Tangless Connector Ultra-Fit Power Connectors 3.50mm Pitch Applications Consumer / Home Appliance Washers Refrigerators Lighting Ballasts Home Lighting Fixtures Telecommunications/Networking Hubs Servers Aerospace and Defense C4ISR Transportation Infotainment Industrial Food and Beverage Assembly Line Equipment Medical Patient Care Equipment Healthcare IT Interior Specifications ELECTRICAL Voltage (max.): 600V AC (RMS) or DC Current (max.): 14.0A Contact Resistance (max.): 7 milliohms Dielectric Withstanding Voltage: 1800 VAC Insulation Resistance (min.): 1000 Megohms REFERENCE INFORMATION Packaging: Bag, Tray, Reel UL File No.: E29179 CSA File No.: LR19980 Mates With: Series: 172258 Series: 172298 Series: 172256 Series: 172286 Use With: Series: 172253 Series: 172258, 172256 Series: 172264 Series: 172258, 172256 Terminal Used: Series: 172253 Designed In: Millimeters RoHS: Yes Halogen Free: Yes Glow Wire Capable: Yes PHYSICAL Housing: 94 V-/Glow Wire Combo Contact: High copper alloy Plating: Tin over nickel overall PCB Thickness: Standard 1.57mm Operating Temperature: -40 to +105°C MECHANICAL Pitch: 3.50mm Contact Insertion Force (max.): 14.7 N (3.3 lbf) Contact Retention to Housing: 24.5N Insertion Force to PCB: 35N MAX Mating Force: 4.5N MAX Un-mating Force: 7 milliohms Durability (min.): Mate connectors up to 25 cycles at a maximum rate of 10 cycles per minute Ordering Information Series No. Component 172253 Crimp Terminal 172256 172258 Receptacle Housing Orientation --- Single --- Dual Kinked Pin Single 172287 172299 Termination Style --- 172286 172298 Rows Solder Clip Vertical Header 172310 Right-Angle 172316 Kinked Pin Dual Solder Clip Single Through Hole Dual TPA Series Description Circuit Color 172264 TPA 2 to 8 Black and Natural www.molex.com/link/ultrafit.html Molex is a registered trademark of Molex, LLC in the United States of America and may be registered in other countries; all other trademarks listed herein belong to their respective owners.
