Housing for a 2.50mm Wire-to-Board Harness
The TE Connectivity 1-1981970-2 is an 8-position, 2-row plug housing from the Grace Inertia, GIC series, designed for wire-to-board interconnects at a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch.
Wiring It Up — What You Need Besides the Housing
This housing is a shell only; the female socket contacts must be sourced separately. The 2.50mm pitch and 2-row layout with a 0.299" (7.60mm) row spacing accept standard crimp terminals for 20–24 AWG wire (typical for the GIC series).
Where It Fits vs. a Single-Row Sibling
The 1-1981970-2 (8 positions, 2 rows) is the dual-row counterpart to the single-row 1-1376477-6 (6 positions, 1 row) in the same Grace Inertia family. Both use the same 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and latch lock, but the 2-row version doubles the circuit density for a given board edge — useful when the PCB real estate is tight but the wire count is higher. The 8-position count here matches an 8-circuit BOM line directly.
It is a current-production part from TE Connectivity's Grace Inertia line.
