1731092714

Overview

The Molex 1731092714 is a 2-position, single-row, vertical through-hole header connector from the KK 2.5mm series. It features a 2.54 mm pitch and operates at a rated current of 3 A with a voltage rating of 300 VAC. The housing is constructed from black polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) material, providing UL 94V-0 flammability classification. This component utilizes gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission in low-signal applications.

Feature Summary

• Vertical through-hole mounting configuration for PCB integration
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for enhanced conductivity
• UL 94V-0 rated PBT housing material

Applications

• General purpose electronic circuit interconnections
• Low-voltage signal transmission lines
• Industrial control panel wiring

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Molex or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required pin count and termination style. Ensure storage conditions adhere to manufacturer guidelines to maintain contact integrity and prevent oxidation prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, 2.54 mm pitch solution is required for vertical board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. Consider the 3 A current rating and 300 VAC insulation capabilities against the specific electrical loads of the target application. Evaluate mechanical retention needs to determine if additional locking features are necessary beyond the standard header design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KK 2.5mm family, characterized by its small form factor and high-density capabilities. The series is widely utilized in consumer electronics and industrial equipment where space constraints limit the use of larger pitch connectors. The 1731092714 specifically denotes a standard straight header without integrated locking mechanisms.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-referencing requires matching the 2.54 mm pitch, 2-position count, and vertical orientation. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and mating terminal housings. Consult official Molex substitution guides for equivalent parts from other manufacturers ensuring identical electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions.
