2-Position Plug Housing, 4.14mm Pitch — Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK
Latch Lock Retention, Contacts Ordered Separately
The housing uses a latch lock fastening system — the integrated ramp on the plug snaps into the matching receptacle housing, giving an audible click that confirms full mate. This is a vibration-resistant retention method typical of the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK family, suitable for harnesses that see vehicle or machinery shake.
How It Sits Against a Same-Series Sibling
A buyer cross-shopping within the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK family may encounter the 1-1376477-6, a 6-position plug housing at a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch. The 1-172165-2 at 0.163" (4.14mm) pitch gives wider contact spacing, which translates to higher voltage creepage capability and easier hand-wire routing for larger-gauge conductors. The 2-position count of the 1-172165-2 matches a simple power pair or signal pair circuit; the 6-position sibling suits multi-conductor harnesses. Both use the same latch lock retention and accept male or female crimp contacts, so tooling and terminal inventory can be shared across the two variants.
