The 6.20 mm pitch gives each circuit enough spacing to handle the current and wire sizes typical of power distribution — this is not a signal-density pitch. The latch lock fastening holds the mated pair together under vibration — you get an audible click when it seats. ## Contacts Are Ordered Separately — Don't Skip This The housing ships with contacts not included — you must order the matching female crimp socket terminals separately. This is the most common sourcing miss on the Universal Power line. The housing accepts the TE crimp terminals designed for this series; the contact termination is crimp, so you need the correct wire gauge and a compatible crimp tool. Confirm the terminal part number for your wire size before you close the BOM.","metaTitle":"TE Universal Power Plug Housing 6 Pos 6.20mm 6-178842-1","metaDescription":"TE 6-178842-1 Universal Power plug housing, 6 positions, 6.20 mm pitch, natural PA66, latch lock, free-hanging, crimp termination.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Universal Power","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Connector Housings"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Note":"Contacts Not Included","Color":"Natural","Pitch":"0.244\\\" (6.20mm)","Series":"Universal Power","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Row Spacing":"-","Contact Type":"Female Socket","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Plug","Fastening Type":"Latch Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Base Product Number":"178842","Contact Termination":"Crimp","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Positions":"6","Operating Temperature":"-30°C ~ 105°C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.5200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.52000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.49200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.49000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.47760","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.40960","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.37048","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.34990","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.30668","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.30257","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/ea07fac7a4e6ae0bc7a6463a77ec5484.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 6-178842-1 and what is the price?","answer":"Pricing and current availability are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for your target quantity."},{"question":"What contacts are compatible with 6-178842-1?","answer":"The housing accepts TE female crimp socket terminals from the Universal Power series.
