The 4.95mm pitch and 9.14mm row spacing give this housing a broad, stable footprint suited for power distribution and signal interconnect in wire-to-wire and wire-to-board harnesses.
The 4.95mm pitch is wider than the 5.08mm pitch of the functionally similar 1-2069882-6 housing, also a 6-position, 2-row, free-hanging receptacle. The 9.14mm row spacing is also wider than the 7.62mm row spacing on that peer. This means the 1-480340-0 requires more board or panel real estate per circuit but provides greater creepage distance between rows — an advantage in higher-voltage or contaminated environments where tracking across the insulator surface is a concern.
The crimp termination accepts male pin contacts (sold separately) that are installed into the housing cavities and locked in place by the integral latch. The free-hanging design means no panel cutout is needed — the connector floats in the harness, which simplifies routing in tight spaces.
