6-Circuit, 3-Row Junior Power Timer Receptacle — Brown Housing
The TE Connectivity 1-965640-2 is a 6-position receptacle in the Junior Power Timer series, arranged across 3 rows on a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch with a 0.217" (5.50mm) row spacing. That three-row layout is less common in this series — most Junior Power Timer housings run two rows — so the mating header must match the 3-row contact pattern, not just the 6-position count. The brown glass-filled PBT housing carries a latch holder for positive locking, suited for harnesses routed through engine compartments or industrial panels where vibration would back a friction-fit connector loose. Operating temperature spans -30°C to 100°C, covering underhood automotive and outdoor enclosure duty.
Termination and Mating — Crimp Contacts, Free-Hanging
The latch holder engages audibly when fully mated; a loose latch means the connector is not seated. The brown colour is a harness-build cue — it distinguishes this housing from natural or black variants in the same series, reducing the chance of a 3-row receptacle being swapped into a 2-row position.
