This is a bare housing — contacts are ordered separately.
Mates with the matching Universal MATE-N-LOK plug housing (male pin side) using the same locking ramp interface. The crimp termination means you field-terminate the contacts with a standard hand tool — no soldering iron needed, which matters when you're building harnesses on a bench or replacing a damaged connector in a live cabinet. The housing accepts the full range of Universal MATE-N-LOK crimp contacts, both pin and socket, depending on whether you wire this as the receptacle or the plug half. Panel mount is snap-in: you punch a rectangular cutout, push the housing in until the retention barbs seat, and it stays put without hardware. The locking ramp on the mating face clicks home with an audible snap — you know it's fully mated when you hear it.
Why the contacts-not-included note matters
The first thing to know about the 1-480701-6 is that it ships as a housing only — no contacts, no wire, no seals. If your BOM line expects a terminated connector ready to plug in, this isn't it. You need to order the correct Universal MATE-N-LOK crimp terminals separately (pin or socket, depending on gender) and a hand crimp tool. This is standard for the series, but it catches buyers who grab the housing thinking it's a complete assembly.
