What This 3-Position Universal MATE-N-LOK Housing Is
It accepts either male or female crimp contacts (sold separately), so the same housing can serve as the receptacle half for a plug or as a free-hanging inline connector depending on which contact type is loaded.
Panel Mounting and Locking Ramp
No secondary hardware is needed for the panel mount; the snap-in retention is designed for a single-handed assembly operation.
Contacts and Crimp Termination — What to Order Separately
The housing accepts Universal MATE-N-LOK crimp terminals in either male pin or female socket format, which are installed into the cavity after crimping onto the wire. The crimp termination gives a gas-tight connection suitable for stranded wire in the 14-20 AWG range typical of this series. Because the housing accepts both contact genders, a single part number can serve as the receptacle for either a plug or a panel-mount application depending on the terminal loaded.
