The detent lock provides a positive audible click on mating, holding the plug to the receptacle under vibration.
Mounting and Termination: Snap-In Panel Fit
The housing mounts via panel mount, snap-in — no hardware, no tools. The nylon latch fingers compress during insertion and spring out behind the panel cutout. The single-row, 4-position layout keeps the harness narrow, useful when routing through a tight cable channel or grommet.
For current designs, this part is a safe BOM line — no need to qualify a substitute or stockpile against a phase-out.
Why the 4-Position 5.08mm Pitch Matters for Your Footprint
The 5.08mm pitch is a standard power connector spacing — wide enough that a 4-position housing occupies about 20mm of panel width. That pitch also means the mating receptacle uses the same 5.08mm centerline, so the board footprint or panel cutout is not ambiguous.
