The TE Connectivity 1-172331-2 is a 6-circuit receptacle from the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK series, a workhorse line for wire-to-wire and wire-to-board power interconnects in appliances, automotive interiors, and industrial controls. It uses a 0.163" (4.14mm) pitch in a 2-row layout, with a locking ramp that snaps the housing into a panel cutout and holds the mated pair against vibration. The red polyamide (PA66) housing is rated for -20°C to 105°C operation.
No direct replacement part number has been published by TE Connectivity. Buyers maintaining an existing design should verify the mating half and terminal compatibility.
Termination is crimp-style — the builder selects either male or female contacts (sold separately) and crimps them to the wire before inserting into the housing. The panel-mount snap-in feature secures the housing to a chassis or enclosure panel without hardware.
