What This Retainer Does in the GT13 System
The Hirose GT13SC-4/1S-R is a secondary lock retainer for the GT13 series of wire-to-board connectors. It installs into the mating face of a GT13 5-position housing after the crimp terminals are loaded, pushing a locking bar over each terminal's lance to prevent back-out under vibration or cable strain. The retainer is molded in gray Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), a material chosen for its dimensional stability and resistance to common automotive and industrial fluids.
Compatibility Check — Which Housing It Fits
This retainer is designed specifically for GT13 series housings with 5 positions. It is not a universal part — the locking geometry matches the internal cavity layout of the 5-position GT13 receptacle or plug housing.
