The listing carries the note "Contacts Not Included" — and it's the most common sourcing mistake on the VAL-U-LOK series. This housing ships as an empty shell. The 4.20mm pitch and dual-row layout match the standard VAL-U-LOK header footprint, so the board-side half is straightforward — but a BOM that lists only this housing will stall a harness build until the contacts arrive.
No — the listing explicitly notes "Contacts Not Included". This is an empty receptacle housing. The matching female crimp socket contacts must be ordered as a separate line item on the BOM.
The pitch is 0.165" (4.20mm) on both the position spacing and the row spacing, giving a standard 4.20mm grid that matches the VAL-U-LOK header footprint.
This receptacle housing mates with any TE VAL-U-LOK male pin header of the same 4.20mm pitch and 10-position count — typically the vertical or right-angle through-hole headers in the series.
