The crimp termination allows the harness builder to terminate wires (typically 18-22 AWG for the Economy Power II contact range) before inserting them into the housing, which is standard practice for high-volume wire harness assembly. The latch lock provides an audible click when the housing is fully mated with the male header, giving the assembly line a positive go/no-go check before the harness ships.
