Sealed 2-Position Receptacle for MCP 6.3 Contacts
The housing is sealed, making it suitable for applications where moisture, dust, or washdown exposure is expected — typical for underhood automotive harnesses, off-highway equipment, and industrial power distribution. The 9.00 mm pitch is wide — this is a power-class spacing, not a signal-density layout. It accommodates the larger MCP 6.3 terminals rated for higher current, with enough creepage distance for the voltage levels common in vehicle systems.
Sealing and Temperature Class — Underhood-Ready
The glass-filled PBT insulation material holds dimensional stability through thermal cycling and resists underhood fluids. The slide-on fastening provides a quick positive mate, though it does not have the vibration-locking ramp of the mating plug half.
The housing ships without contacts — this is explicitly noted on the listing. The buyer must source the appropriate MCP 6.3 female socket terminals and crimp them into the cavities before mating. The crimp termination allows field-serviceable repairs and custom wire-length harness builds.
Mating Half and Peer Comparison
That plug uses a locking ramp fastening type, which provides a more vibration-resistant mate than the slide-on retention of this receptacle. Both have the same 2-position single-row layout and accept crimp terminals, but the plug's locking ramp adds a positive retention latch — useful in high-vibration harness runs where the receptacle alone would rely on the slide-on friction fit.
