This natural-colour housing uses a 4.95 mm pitch and a dual-row layout with 0.360\" row spacing, accepting female socket contacts that are crimped onto the wire. The latch lock fastening provides a positive retention against the mating header — audible click confirms full engagement. ## Contacts Are Ordered Separately The listing explicitly notes that contacts are not included with this housing. You need to order the matching female crimp terminals separately — standard Commercial MATE-N-LOK contacts (such as the 60619 or 60620 series) fit this cavity. The crimp termination gives you flexibility to wire the harness with the correct wire gauge for your current draw, then insert the loaded terminals into the housing. Always confirm the terminal part number against your wire size before committing the BOM. ## Mating Half and Keying This plug mates with the corresponding Commercial MATE-N-LOK header (male pin) housing. The latch lock on the plug engages with a matching ramp on the header side — no tools needed for mating, but the lock must be fully seated to avoid vibration-induced separation. The dual-row, 16-position layout is keyed by the housing geometry; there is no polarisation insert, so verify the cavity numbering aligns with your circuit layout before final assembly.","metaTitle":"TE 1-480438-0 Commercial MATE-N-LOK Plug Housing, 16 Pos","metaDescription":"TE 1-480438-0 Commercial MATE-N-LOK plug housing, 16 positions, 4.95mm pitch, natural PA66.
