Product details

18-Position Dual-Row VAL-U-LOK Receptacle, 4.20 mm Pitch

The contacts terminate via crimp, so you'll need the matching TE crimp tool and the correct wire gauge terminals for your harness.

Mates with: TE VAL-U-LOK pin headers, dual-row, 18 positions, 4.20 mm pitch. Termination: crimp — requires the female socket contacts (sold separately). No secondary TPA (terminal position assurance) is built into this housing, so verify each crimped terminal is fully inserted and locked by the contact retention tines before mating.

The dual-row, 18-position layout means the housing is 18.8 mm wide (roughly), which fits standard 0.100-inch grid prototyping boards with room for routing between rows.
