The housing itself is a black thermoplastic shell rated for -65°C to 105°C, which puts it in the industrial and automotive operating envelope, not just benign indoor use. The key thing to know upfront: contacts are not included. This is an empty shell, and you order the crimp sockets separately to match your wire gauge. ## 20 Circuits, Dual-Row, 2.54mm Pitch — The Fit Check The 20 positions are arranged in two rows spaced 0.100\" (2.54mm) apart, matching the same pitch as the row spacing. That gives you a compact 10-per-row layout that mates with the corresponding AMPMODU Mod IV 20-position dual-row header (also 0.100\" pitch). The dual-row arrangement means the housing is wider than a single-row equivalent — roughly 0.500\" across the body — so confirm your wire bundle and connector clearance before committing the harness layout. ## Crimp Termination and Contact Selection Termination is crimp, not IDC or solder. You select the appropriate AMPMODU Mod IV female socket contact for your wire gauge (typically 22-28 AWG for this series), crimp it onto the stripped wire, and insert it into the housing cavity until the retention lance locks. The housing has no integral latch — retention relies entirely on the contact's own locking tang engaging the housing cavity wall. The wide -65°C to 105°C range means the thermoplastic housing maintains its dimensional stability and contact retention across thermal cycling in an engine bay or industrial cabinet.","metaTitle":"TE AMPMODU Mod IV 87977-8, 20 Pos Receptacle Housing, 2.54mm","metaDescription":"87977-8 TE AMPMODU Mod IV receptacle housing, 20 positions, dual-row 2.54mm pitch, crimp termination, -65°C to 105°C.
