The 4.00mm pitch matches the standard MCON 1.2 terminal format, accepting the common 1.2mm blade width. The glass-filled nylon housing is rated for -40°C to 150°C operation, putting it in the underhood and industrial enclosure class. This is an active-production part, ROHS3 compliant. ## Keying and Position Assurance — CPA and TPA Included The brown housing signals Key B orientation, one of several keying options in the MCON 1.2 family. This matters when multiple MCON connectors share a harness — the keying prevents inserting the wrong receptacle into a given header. The integrated CPA (Connector Position Assurance) locks the mated pair and provides a visual/tactile check that full engagement is achieved. The TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) retainer locks each crimped terminal into its cavity, preventing back-out under vibration. Both features are standard on this housing, not optional add-ons. ## Temperature Range and Sealing Rated for -40°C to 150°C continuous operation, this housing is designed for the thermal extremes found in engine compartments, transmission interfaces, and industrial cabinets near heat sources. The sealed construction, combined with the CPA/TPA hardware, makes it suitable for applications where moisture, dust, and vibration are present — typical of automotive underhood and off-highway vehicle harnesses. For BOM planning, the base product number is 2098541, and the 3-position Key B variant is the -6 suffix.","metaTitle":"TE MCON 2098541-6 Receptacle, 3 Pos, 4.00mm, Key B","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity MCON 2098541-6 3-position receptacle, 4.00mm pitch, Key B brown housing, CPA/TPA, -40 to 150°C.
