That uniform grid simplifies wire routing and cavity identification in the harness — each of the 9 cavities is equally spaced in a 3x3 pattern. The 4.14mm pitch is the standard for the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK family, so mating headers and receptacles in the same series share the same cavity layout. This housing ships without contacts. The 172169-1 accepts both male and female crimp terminals (sold separately) that are inserted into the cavities after crimping to the wire. The contact termination is crimp-style, so the wire gauge and terminal part number must be matched to the application. ## Latch Lock and Free-Hanging Mount ## Operating Temperature and Material Rated from -20°C to 105°C, the PA66 housing handles the thermal range of most indoor industrial and automotive underhood environments. The natural (uncolored) nylon 6/6 is a standard choice for general-purpose connectors — no flame-rating or UV-stabilizer additives are specified here, so keep it inside an enclosure or protected from direct sunlight. ## Lifecycle and Compliance No obsolescence notice or successor part is on record.","metaTitle":"172169-1 Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK Plug Housing, 9 Pos","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 172169-1 plug housing, 9-position 3-row, 4.14mm pitch, latch lock, natural PA66, -20°C to 105°C.
