This is the empty shell — contacts are ordered separately and crimped onto the wire before insertion. ## The Contacts Question — What You Actually Need to Order The 926681-1 ships as a bare housing — the note \"Contacts Not Included\" is not a footnote, it is the main procurement fact. The Universal MATE-N-LOK system accepts either male or female crimp contacts, so you need to order the matching terminal separately based on whether this is the plug or receptacle half of your harness. The contact termination is crimp, meaning the wire is stripped, the terminal is crimped on, then inserted into the housing cavity until the locking ramp seats. For a full mated pair, you will need two housings (one male, one female) plus the correct number of contacts for each side. ## Mounting and Retention in the Assembly The housing mounts to a panel via snap-in clips — no hardware required, just a rectangular cutout in the panel that matches the housing profile. The locking ramp on the mating face engages with the corresponding ramp on the plug housing, giving an audible and tactile click when fully mated. This is a field-service-friendly design: the ramp can be depressed with a screwdriver to unmate the pair without tools. The natural colour is the raw PA66 resin, which means no added pigment that could affect material properties in high-temperature or UV-exposed applications.","metaTitle":"TE 926681-1 Universal MATE-N-LOK Receptacle Housing, 12 Pos","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 926681-1 Universal MATE-N-LOK receptacle housing, 12 positions, 4 rows, 0.250\" pitch, natural PA66, panel mount with locking ramp.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Universal MATE-N-LOK","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Connector Housings"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Note":"Contacts Not Included","Color":"Natural","Series":"Universal MATE-N-LOK","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Row Spacing":"0.250\\\" (6.35mm)","Contact Type":"Male or Female","Mounting Type":"Panel Mount, Snap-In","Connector Type":"Receptacle","Fastening Type":"Locking Ramp","Number of Rows":"4","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Base Product Number":"926681","Contact Termination":"Crimp","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Positions":"12","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 105°C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.6800","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.68000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.54000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.49480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.47960","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.37340","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.35068","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.22926","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.10026","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$1.01680","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 926681-1 and how is it quoted?","answer":"No stock-holding claim is made; the part is procured per your BOM line."},{"question":"Does the 926681-1 come with contacts?","answer":"No — the housing ships empty.
