Eight-Circuit Sealed Receptacle for Harsh Environments
The TE Connectivity 1-2299782-2 is an 8-position, 2-row receptacle housing from the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, also known as the MCP 2.8/6.3 platform. The housing is rated IP67 and IP69K when mated with the corresponding plug, making it suitable for washdown zones, off-road vehicle harnesses, and engine compartments where high-pressure steam or water jets are present.
What the IP Rating and Temperature Range Mean for Your Assembly
The dual IP67/IP69K rating means this housing, when paired with the correct mating plug and properly crimped contacts with wire seals, can survive temporary immersion in 1 meter of water (IP67) and withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdown (IP69K). The -40°C to 140°C operating range covers the full automotive underhood thermal cycle and industrial cabinet ambient extremes without needing to derate the housing material. The glass-filled PBT insulation handles the thermal and chemical exposure typical of engine bays and hydraulic equipment.
You will need to source the MCP 2.8 or MCP 6.3 female socket crimp terminals separately, along with the matching male plug housing (also from the MCP 2.8/6.3 series) and any required wire seals or cavity plugs. The slide-on fastening type provides a positive lock without tools, and the 2-row layout keeps the 8-circuit footprint compact for in-line harness splicing. The black PBT housing resists UV and common automotive fluids.
