The 4.20mm pitch provides adequate creepage for power-level circuits while keeping the housing compact enough for harness routing in tight enclosures. The natural polyamide (nylon) housing carries a latch lock for positive retention — you hear the click when the mating plug fully seats, which matters in applications where vibration or cable tug could otherwise separate the pair. ## Does This Housing Include Contacts? No — the 1-794954-4 ships as a bare housing only. The note on the listing is explicit: Contacts Not Included. You need to order the matching VAL-U-LOK crimp socket terminals separately. The housing accepts female socket contacts that are crimped onto the wire ends before insertion. Confirm the wire gauge range (typically 20-24 AWG for this series) and order the correct terminal part number for your build. ## Mating and Termination This receptacle housing mates with the corresponding VAL-U-LOK plug header (male pin housing) of the same 14-position, 2-row configuration. Termination is crimp-style — the socket contacts are attached to the wire with a crimp tool, then inserted into the housing cavities until the latch tangs lock. The latch lock on the housing engages with the mating plug's locking ramp for a vibration-resistant connection. No soldering or board mounting is involved; the assembly is fully in-line.","metaTitle":"TE VAL-U-LOK 1-794954-4 Receptacle Housing, 14 Position","metaDescription":"TE VAL-U-LOK 1-794954-4 receptacle housing, 14 positions, 4.20mm pitch, natural, latch lock.
