MonoPlug Receptacle, Selectively Loaded
The TE Connectivity 1-2232891-1 is an 11-position MonoPlug receptacle on a 0.098" (2.50 mm) pitch, but only five of those positions carry active female blade socket contacts — positions 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 are left unloaded from the factory. That selective loading means the shell provides the mechanical envelope and keying for an 11-circuit application while the wiring only fills the odd-numbered cavities. It terminates 22-24 AWG discrete wire via crimp, with tin-plated contacts that suit moderate-cycle, indoor environments where cost per line matters more than gold's corrosion margin.
The 22-24 AWG wire gauge window is tight enough that a harness builder running 20 AWG power feeds or 26 AWG signal pairs needs a different terminal. The crimp termination is a standard open-barrel style — the die set for 22-24 AWG must match the contact's insulation and conductor crimp bands. Free-hanging right-angle orientation means the wire exits perpendicular to the receptacle axis, useful when the cable bundle needs to turn 90° at the mating face without a separate backshell.
