The 6.10mm pitch provides generous spacing between circuits, making it straightforward to crimp and insert the terminals by hand. ## Contacts Are Not Included — Plan the Full BOM That means when you add 794060-1 to the BOM, you also need to line up the matching crimp socket terminal — typically the TE 794064 series or equivalent MATE-N-LOK pin-and-socket contact. The housing is a shell; the electrical path runs through the terminal you crimp onto the wire. Ordering the housing alone and forgetting the contacts is a common miss that stalls a harness build. ## Friction Lock and Free-Hanging Mount The friction lock on this plug housing engages with the matching header or receptacle to keep the connection secure under vibration. It's not a ramp-style latch — it's a simple interference fit that clicks into place and resists pull-out from cable strain. For a panel-feed application, you'd pair it with a panel-mount header from the same MATE-N-LOK series.","metaTitle":"TE MATE-N-LOK 794060-1 Plug Housing, 3 Pos 6.10mm","metaDescription":"TE MATE-N-LOK 794060-1 plug housing, 3 positions, 6.10mm pitch, free-hanging, friction lock.

That's the spacing between adjacent contact cavities, which determines the footprint if you're mating it to a board-mounted header."},{"question":"What is the 794060-1 used for?","answer":"It's a 3-position free-hanging plug housing used in wire-to-wire or wire-to-board harnesses where a friction-lock connection is needed. Typical applications include power and signal interconnects in industrial equipment, automotive underhood harnesses, and appliance wiring where the 6.10mm pitch gives room for hand-crimping and the PA66 housing handles -55°C to 105°C environments."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/794060-1","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/794060-1 when reusing this data.
