Applications
The Molex 1723101202 is used in industrial control panels, building automation equipment, and consumer appliances where 2-wire power or signal connections must exit a PCB horizontally to fit inside compact enclosures. Its 3.5mm pitch accommodates wire gauges typical of low-voltage power wiring up to several amperes, making it suitable for relay outputs, sensor power feeds, and actuator drive circuits. The right-angle header simplifies cable routing in panel-mount or DIN-rail-mounted control modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does Molex 1723101202 offer for wire-to-board connections?
The Molex 1723101202 is a 2-position connector with a 3.5mm contact pitch. This pitch accommodates typical wire gauges in the 16 AWG to 26 AWG range and provides enough spacing to allow reliable field wiring in industrial control and automation equipment without risk of adjacent wire short circuits.
Why choose a right-angle header like 1723101202 over a vertical header in panel-mount applications?
A right-angle header orients the mating cable parallel to the PCB surface, reducing the overall assembly height by the length of the connector body compared to a vertical header. In panel-mount or DIN-rail modules where vertical clearance is limited to 20mm to 30mm, this orientation allows the cable to exit horizontally through a slot in the enclosure wall without bending stress on the connector pins.
In which industrial control and automation designs is 1723101202 commonly used?
The connector is commonly used for power and signal wire termination in PLC I/O modules, relay driver boards, motor drive control boards, and HVAC sensor interface panels. Its 3.5mm pitch handles currents typical of 24V DC control wiring, typically up to 8A per contact depending on wire gauge, making it a standard choice for low-voltage industrial terminal blocks.
How does the 3.5mm pitch of 1723101202 compare to other common PCB connector pitches?
The 3.5mm pitch positions this connector between compact 2.54mm pitch signal headers and larger 5.08mm power terminal blocks. The 3.5mm spacing supports moderate current capacity and fits wire gauges from about 26 AWG to 16 AWG, offering a balance between board density and current-carrying capability that suits 24V DC industrial control applications.
