Economy Power 2.5 Receptacle Housing, 18 Circuits, Dual-Row
The TE Connectivity 1-2324582-8 is an 18-position, dual-row receptacle housing from the Economy Power 2.5 series. It is a free-hanging (in-line) connector designed to accept crimp terminals, making it the wire-side half of a wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnect. The natural-colored polyamide (PA66) housing uses a latch lock for positive retention when mated with the corresponding header. The 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and row spacing match the standard Economy Power 2.5 footprint, allowing direct pairing with the series' PCB headers.
What It Mates With and What Crimp Contacts Fit
This is a receptacle housing (female), so it accepts male pin crimp contacts and mates with a plug header from the same Economy Power 2.5 series. The latch lock on the housing engages with the corresponding ramp on the header to prevent accidental unmating under vibration or cable strain. Crimp contacts are not included with the housing. The mating crimp terminals for the 1-2324582-8 are the standard Economy Power 2.5 male pin contacts, typically ordered separately as part numbers in the 1-2324000 series range. The dual-row, 18-position layout means the wiring harness requires 18 individual crimped pins inserted into the housing cavities.
