The Hirose GT13SC-2S-HU is a 2-position housing in the GT13 series, designed to accept F terminals. It's the shell that holds the contacts — you crimp the F terminal onto the wire, then insert it into this housing to build a wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnect. The body is molded from Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), a standard UL-rated thermoplastic that handles the thermal and flame requirements of most commercial and industrial enclosures. Color is gray, which helps visually distinguish it from other housings in the GT13 family on the harness assembly bench.
Mating and Terminal Compatibility
This housing is made for the GT13 series F terminals — that's the crimp contact you need to source separately. The housing itself has no electrical rating; it's the terminal that carries the current. So when you're building a harness, the first step is to pick the right F terminal for your wire gauge, then insert it into this 2-position shell. The housing provides the mechanical alignment and retention for the terminal, and it mates with the corresponding header or receptacle in the GT13 series.
