The natural polyester housing carries a locking ramp for positive retention and a polarizing key to prevent mismating with non-keyed headers. The operating range is 0°C to 75°C, so it is suited for indoor consumer electronics, appliances, and general-purpose wire-to-board harnesses — not for underhood or outdoor environments.
The housing accepts a female socket contact terminated via crimp. The polarizing key ensures the housing can only be inserted one way, which is helpful on a harness assembly line where orientation matters.
