Wiring This 18-Position Plug Into a Harness
The TE 1-967629-2 is an 18-circuit, 3-row plug from the Junior Power Timer series, built for free-hanging (in-line) harness applications where the connector floats with the wire bundle rather than locking into a panel cutout. The 5.00 mm pitch and 5.50 mm row spacing give each terminal enough room for 2.8 mm tab contacts — typical for power and signal distribution in automotive and industrial control cabinets. The glass-filled PA66 housing handles the -40°C to 120°C operating range without getting brittle in cold workshops or softening near a hot relay bank.
Crimp Terminals and Contact Selection
This plug accepts tab-type contacts installed via crimp termination — no soldering iron needed. The housing ships without contacts (contacts not included). The purple colour is a visual cue on the line.
The 1-967629-2 is the 18-position, 3-row variant in the Junior Power Timer series. Compare it to the 1-1644055-3, a 6-position, 2-row plug with 6.35 mm pitch and a latch holder — that part suits lower-circuit-count, wider-pitch harnesses where the extra spacing helps with larger wire gauges. The 1-967629-2 packs 18 circuits into a denser 5.00 mm pitch layout, which matters when the harness has more signals to route in the same connector footprint.
The 1-967629-2 carries ROHS3 compliance, so it clears the EU material restriction gate without an exemption review. Production status is active — no last-time-buy notice on record.
