The TE Connectivity 1-87499-4 is an 8-position, single-row receptacle housing from the AMPMODU Mod IV series. The housing accepts either male or female contacts, giving you flexibility to build either a receptacle or a pin header assembly depending on the terminal you load. The black thermoplastic insulation is rated for -65°C to 105°C, covering most industrial and automotive underhood environments that aren't directly on-engine.
Termination and Contact Selection
This is a crimp housing — you load your own contacts. The housing accepts both male and female crimp terminals from the AMPMODU Mod IV system, so the same shell can serve as either the receptacle side or the pin side of a connection. Contacts are ordered separately; the housing itself has no current rating because that depends entirely on the terminal you insert and the wire gauge you crimp. The free-hanging, in-line mounting style means no board footprint is needed — the housing terminates a cable assembly that mates with a board-mounted header or another in-line housing.
Checking Fit Against the BOM
If your BOM calls for 8 circuits at 2.54mm spacing in a single row, this housing matches. The single-row layout keeps the assembly narrow — useful where harness width is constrained. Compared to a 30-position dual-row housing like the 1-2333134-5, the 1-87499-4 is a simpler, lower-density part for smaller wire bundles. There's no locking ramp on this housing, so for vibration-prone applications you'll want to add a secondary retention method or use a mating header with a latch.
