The Hirose GT8E-2S-2C is a 2-position plug housing from the GT8E series, built for wire-to-wire or wire-to-board crimp interconnect in space-constrained harnesses. Its 2.00 mm pitch keeps the contact spacing tight enough for a compact two-circuit splice, while the latch lock gives positive retention — a step up from a friction-only housing when the harness sees vibration.
Contacts Not Included — Order the Crimp Terminals Separately
The listing explicitly notes contacts are not included. The GT8E-2S-2C ships as an empty housing — source the matching female socket crimp terminals for the GT8E series separately. Confirm the terminal part number for your wire gauge before you commit the BOM line.
Position-Count Comparison: 2 vs 4 vs 5 vs 10
The GT8E series offers the same 2.00 mm pitch and latch-lock fastening across 2, 4, 5, and 10-position plug housings (GT8E-2S-2C, GT8E-4S-HU, GT8E-5S-HU, GT8E-10S-HU). The only difference is the number of circuits — pick the one that matches your harness position count. If you need a 4-way splice, the GT8E-4S-HU is the direct swap; the 2-position is for a simple two-wire inline connection.
Active Production, ROHS3 Compliant
The housing material is polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). The product status is Active and ROHS3 Compliant.
