2-Position Sealed Receptacle Housing for Harsh Environments
The housing includes a terminal position lock (TPA) and a latch holder fastening system, ensuring the contacts stay seated and the mating halves stay coupled under shock and vibration.
Sealing and Terminal Position Lock
This housing is listed as sealed, with a terminal position lock (TPA) feature. The TPA is a secondary lock that slides into the housing after the crimp terminals are inserted, preventing the contacts from backing out due to wire pull or vibration. The sealing means the mated connector assembly resists ingress of dust and moisture — typical for MX64 connectors used in engine compartments and exposed chassis locations. No specific IP rating is stated in the listing, but the sealed construction and wide temperature range point to an IP67-class capability when properly mated with the corresponding header and gasket.
The crimp termination is field-installable with standard tooling, and the TPA must be engaged after terminal insertion to lock each contact in place.
