GT13SC-4/1P-R — Secondary Lock for GT13 5-Position Housings
The Hirose GT13SC-4/1P-R is a retainer — a secondary lock — for the GT13 series of connector housings. It is designed specifically for use with GT13 housings that have 5 positions. This retainer snaps into the housing after the crimp terminals are inserted, providing a positive lock that prevents terminal push-out under vibration or cable strain. The body is molded from Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) in gray, a material chosen for its dimensional stability and resistance to common automotive and industrial fluids.
Where It Fits — GT13 5-Position Housing Compatibility
This retainer mates with GT13 series housings that have 5 positions. It is not a standalone connector — it is the secondary lock that goes into the housing after the terminals are loaded. The retainer ensures each terminal is held in its cavity against the primary latch, adding a mechanical backup that matters in high-vibration environments like automotive engine compartments or industrial control cabinets.
