What This Guide Pin Does in the M Series Assembly
The TE Connectivity 1-201046-2 is a corner guide pin for the M Series of rectangular industrial connectors. Its job is to align the plug and receptacle during mating, preventing contact stubbing and ensuring the connector halves seat squarely. The 6-32 thread accepts a standard screw or jacking hardware to secure the pin to the connector housing.
Compatibility and Mounting
This guide pin is designed for use with TE M Series connectors. It mounts at the corner of the housing, and the 6-32 threaded hole allows it to be fastened with a matching screw or standoff. The pin itself does not carry electrical current — it is strictly a mechanical alignment feature.
