It mates with the corresponding Grace Inertia header (sold separately) to form a positive-locking connection in harness assemblies for appliances, industrial controls, and automotive interior systems. The housing is molded from glass-filled PBT in natural color, rated for an operating range of -30°C to 105°C. ## 2.50mm Pitch, Latch Lock, and Contacts-Not-Included The latch lock on the plug provides audible positive retention, which matters in harnesses routed through a vehicle or machine where vibration can back out a friction-only connector. A critical procurement note: contacts are not included with this housing. You need to order the matching female crimp terminals separately — typically the TE 1981972-series socket contacts (e.g., 1-1981972-1 or similar) for the wire gauge your harness calls for.","metaTitle":"TE Grace Inertia 1981972-1, 12 Pos Plug Housing 2.50mm","metaDescription":"TE Grace Inertia GIC 1981972-1 12-position dual-row plug housing, 2.50mm pitch, latch lock, natural PBT.
