Confirm the BOM line includes both the housing and the correct quantity of crimp contacts before the harness build starts. Panel mounting is snap-in — the housing clips into a rectangular cutout in the panel or enclosure wall, no hardware needed. The locking ramp faces the panel side, so the mating header slides in from the opposite direction and the latch catches the housing edge. Verify the panel thickness against the housing's retention feature spec in the product drawing; typical VAL-U-LOK snap-in housings accept 1.0-2.0 mm panels.","metaTitle":"TE VAL-U-LOK 2-2296207-2, 22-Pos Plug Housing 4.20mm","metaDescription":"TE VAL-U-LOK plug housing, 22 positions, 4.20mm pitch, dual-row, natural nylon, glow wire compliant.
