Sealed 2-Position Housing for Harsh-Duty Harnesses
The TE Connectivity MCON 1-1924067-4 is a 2-position, single-row receptacle housing designed for sealed, in-line wire-to-wire or wire-to-device interconnects. It is a member of the MCON series, a family known for compact, high-reliability power and signal connectors in automotive and industrial environments. The housing carries Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) features, which together provide a positive lock and confirm full terminal insertion — critical in high-vibration assemblies where a loose contact or unlatched connector causes intermittent failure.
What the Sealing and Locking Features Mean for the Build
The sealed housing, combined with the CPA and TPA, makes this a field-serviceable connector for applications where moisture, dust, or vibration would compromise an unsealed alternative. The CPA is a secondary lock on the housing latch — it prevents accidental unmating. The TPA is a retainer that locks each crimped terminal into its cavity, so a terminal cannot back out during assembly or under cable strain. For a harness builder, this means the connector can be assembled, tested, and shipped without worrying about terminal push-back, and the end user gets an audible and tactile confirmation of a fully mated connection.
