The PA66 nylon housing handles underhood temperatures and resists common automotive fluids, though the exact temperature range and IP rating should be confirmed from the full MCON product drawing for the specific application.","metaTitle":"TE MCON 2098557-4, 2-Pos Receptacle Housing, 4.00mm","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity MCON 2098557-4 receptacle housing, 2 positions, 4.00mm pitch, sealed with CPA, latch lock, free-hanging.
