The TE Connectivity 1-968700-1 is a 3-position, single-row plug housing from the Micro Quadlok series. The housing is molded from glass-filled PBT, a material that handles underhood temperatures and resists common shop fluids better than unfilled nylon.
The One Thing That Trips Up Buyers: Contacts Not Included
This is a housing only — the listing note says contacts are not included. You need to order the matching male pin crimp terminals separately for the Micro Quadlok series. If you're filling a BOM line, make sure the terminal part number is on a separate line item; the housing alone won't complete the harness.
Termination and Mounting: Crimp-and-Insert, No Soldering
Termination is crimp style — you strip the wire, crimp the male pin terminal with the correct tooling, then push it into the housing until the latch clicks. The free-hanging mount means this plug is meant to mate with a panel-mount or board-mount header, not to be soldered to a PCB itself. Single-row layout keeps the harness narrow, useful where wire bundle space is tight.
