Shop TE Connectivity 172160-1 Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK 6-position rectangular cap housing at Suqin. Features a 4.2mm pitch, 2-row grid, UL 94V-0 nylon shell, and integrated panel mounting ears for rugged power and signal wiring.

Data Overview

Core Specifications	Engineering Advantages	Operational Benefits
Integrated Panel Mounting Ears	Self-contained flexible side wings lock instantly into cutout windows without auxiliary mounting hardware or screws.	Slashes structural assembly times on the factory floor and ensures a clean, rattle-free interface on control panels.
UL 94V-0 Rated Nylon 66 Housing	High-grade flame-retardant polyamide provides superior structural strength and self-extinguishes within seconds in thermal emergencies.	Prevents circuit faults from escalating into electrical fires, satisfying strict safety audits for consumer and commercial hardware.
Dual-Row 4.2mm Pitch Compact Grid	Compact spacing packs 6 high-voltage power lines into a minimized cross-sectional profile ($11.8\text{ mm} \times 9.8\text{ mm}$).	Solves strict volumetric space limits in white goods, industrial machinery, and power distribution modules.
600 VAC/VDC Power & Signal Rating	Robust internal isolation barriers are designed to reliably handle high-voltage currents alongside delicate control signals simultaneously.	Eliminates the need to separate power and data streams into two connectors, lowering bill of materials (BOM) complexity and costs.

Q1: Does the 172160-1 package include the metal pin terminals?

No. The 172160-1 part number is exclusively for the nylon cap housing. Crimp pin contacts must be selected and purchased separately based on your specific wire gauge (such as 18-22 AWG or 22-26 AWG) to complete the assembly wire configuration.

Q2: What is the benefit of the “Mounting Ears” feature on this cap?

The integrated flexible mounting ears allow the connector to function as a panel-mount interface. It easily snaps into a pre-cut rectangular panel cutout (recommended thickness: 0.8mm to 2.0mm) and locks securely into place without screws, stabilizing your wire-to-panel wire layouts against strain.

Q3: Can the 172160-1 housing cap be used for wire-to-wire inline applications?

Yes. While it features mounting ears optimized for panel cutouts, it can also be used as a free-hanging wire-to-wire inline connector. It mates perfectly with matching Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK plug housings to create a reliable inline disconnect system.
