The closed-end housing prevents the IDC contacts from being pushed through during termination — a practical detail that saves rework on the assembly bench.
This receptacle terminates 22-26 AWG wire via IDC (insulation displacement) — no crimp tool, no loose terminals to handle. The same housing accepts both discrete wires and ribbon cable, so a single part number covers two harness build methods.
This is a single-row, free-hanging (in-line) receptacle, so it mates with the corresponding AMPMODU MTE header (male pins, same 0.100" pitch). The closed-end feature also acts as a polarisation aid: the IDC contacts only insert one way, preventing a reversed termination.
