The TE Connectivity 1-480285-0 is a 10-position plug housing from the Commercial MATE-N-LOK series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board harness applications. It carries a 4.95mm pitch and dual rows spaced 0.360" apart — the pitch is wide enough to handle moderate power loads without forcing tight board routing.
Mating and Termination — What You Need to Order Separately
This housing accepts female socket contacts (not included — see the note on the listing) that are crimped onto the wire before insertion. The crimp termination gives a gas-tight connection that holds up to vibration better than soldered joints in a harness. The latch lock on the plug mates with the matching receptacle housing from the Commercial MATE-N-LOK series — the 10-position receptacle (such as the 1-480286-0) is the direct counterpart. The free-hanging mount means it sits in the cable run, not on a board, so the wire strain is taken by the housing latch, not the contacts.
