The 0559171610, also identified by Molex as 55917-1610, is a MicroClasp 2.00mm wire-to-board PCB header. It features a 16-circuit, dual-row, vertical configuration for compact board-to-wire applications requiring secure mating and reliable mechanical retention.
The connector uses through-hole PCB mounting with a 2.00mm termination pitch. The exact part incorporates both a PCB locator and PCB retention feature to support accurate positioning during assembly. Molex specifies a 3.20mm PC-tail length and recommends a 1.60mm PCB thickness.
The header is fully shrouded and polarized both to the mating connector and PCB. It also includes a locking feature to the mating part, helping improve connection retention. The broader MicroClasp family uses a positive-lock architecture designed to improve connector security in compact wire-to-board systems.
Electrical ratings for the exact part include 3.0A maximum current per contact and 250V AC RMS/DC maximum voltage. Molex also specifies 3A as a key current capability for the MicroClasp 2.00mm family.
The contacts are manufactured from brass with tin plating on both mating and termination areas. Minimum plating thickness is 1.0µm. The natural-colored polyester housing carries a UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
The connector is rated for up to 30 mating cycles and operates over a -40°C to +105°C temperature range. The exact ordering option is supplied in tray packaging and has an approximate net weight of 1.2785g.
Molex currently lists 559171610 as Active. The company also notes that the part is not formally published in its full online catalog, so only limited public information is displayed for this exact ordering code.
