1-917657-5

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The 1-917657-5 is a FMLB series header connector manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. It features a vertical board-to-board or board-to-wire configuration with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) contact spacing. The component utilizes gold-plated contacts for high conductivity and includes an integrated keying function to ensure correct mating orientation. Designed for robust performance, it offers vibration and shock resistance alongside IP20 certification. The housing is constructed from durable thermoplastic material suitable for standard surface mount or through-hole assembly processes.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and housing color variant required for your application, as FMLB series components often come in multiple configurations. Confirm that the IP20 rating meets the environmental protection requirements of your final product enclosure. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets regarding the integrated keying mechanism to prevent incorrect insertion.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a secure, keyed connection is necessary in environments subject to mechanical stress. The gold plating makes it suitable for applications where low contact resistance is critical. Consider the thermal limits of the polymer housing if operating near high-temperature sources. Verify that the vertical profile fits within the available height constraints of the device chassis.
