Housing Only — Order the Terminals Separately
The TE 1-171822-2 is a 12-position, single-row receptacle housing from the EI series. It's a free-hanging (in-line) connector with a 2.50mm pitch, molded in natural polyamide 6/6.
Pitch and Position Count — What Fits
At 2.50mm pitch and 12 positions, this housing is sized for wire-to-board interconnects where the board footprint matches that spacing. The 12 circuits are a common count for multi-conductor harnesses — think sensor arrays, I/O banks, or power distribution in control cabinets.
Crimp Termination — Build Your Own Harness
Termination is crimp-style for the female socket contacts. That means you select the wire gauge, strip length, and crimp tooling to match your application. The housing accepts the contacts after crimping — the terminal locks into the cavity with a positive retention feature. No soldering, no PCB required on this end; it's a field-terminable or harness-shop build.
