2-Position Free-Hanging Blade Housing for Inline or Wire-to-Board Duty
TE Connectivity 1-2058299-1 is a 2-position blade and receptacle housing from the 2058299 series. It is a free-hanging (in-line) housing with a 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch, intended for board-to-cable or cable-to-cable connections where a simple latch-lock mate is needed.
Latch-Lock Retention and Crimp Termination
The housing uses a latch lock for positive retention — audible click on full mate, no secondary locking required for most applications. Termination is crimp-style; the housing accepts the matching blade terminals (sold separately) that are crimped onto the wire. The 4.00mm pitch gives enough room for 18-22 AWG wire without crowding the cavity. The latch lock holds the pair together under moderate vibration; for high-shock environments, a secondary lock or tape wrap is advisable.
Mating Half and Wire Gauge
This housing mates with the matching TE blade header (same series, 4.00mm pitch) — typically a right-angle or vertical through-hole header for wire-to-board, or another free-hanging housing for inline splice. The wire gauge range is not explicitly stated in the listing, but the 6A rating and 4.00mm pitch suggest 18-22 AWG stranded wire with the appropriate crimp terminal. Confirm the terminal part number for your wire size before committing the BOM line.
