In-service, the latch resists un-mating from cable snag or equipment vibration, which is why this fastening type shows up on harnesses routed inside moving machinery or vehicle doors. This housing requires a separate crimp terminal — the contacts are not included. The white thermoplastic body is a visual cue on the line: white housings often signal a specific circuit function (e.g., lighting or sensor return) in multi-connector harnesses, though the color is a manufacturer choice, not a coded standard.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 3-2408780-3 Plug, 3-Pos, 6.20mm Pitch","metaDescription":"TE 3-2408780-3 3-position plug housing, 6.20mm pitch, latch lock, crimp termination.
