The TE Connectivity 1-480698-6 is a 2-position plug housing from the Universal MATE-N-LOK series. It's a free-hanging inline connector body — no board mount, no panel cutout — designed for wire-to-wire or wire-to-board harness assemblies where you crimp terminals onto the wire ends and snap them into the housing. The single-row layout keeps the harness narrow, and the latch lock on the housing gives a positive click when mated to the matching receptacle, so it won't shake loose in a vibrating assembly.
Key Specs That Drive the Fit
Single row, so the harness stays slim. The latch lock is the fastening type — push to mate, pull to release, no tools needed. Crimp termination means you supply the terminals separately; the housing accepts either male or female contacts, giving you flexibility in pin assignment.
The Contacts Are Not Included — Plan for It
The listing note is clear: contacts not included. This is a housing only — you order the crimp terminals as a separate line item. The Universal MATE-N-LOK terminal family includes both pin and socket contacts for a range of wire gauges; match the terminal part number to your wire size and current requirement. If you're building a harness from scratch, factor in the terminal order at the same time as the housing to avoid a stalled assembly line.
