16-Position Dual-Row Receptacle Housing for Crimp Contacts
The housing is free-hanging (in-line), designed to accept separate crimp socket contacts that are ordered by the thousand for harness builds. A polarizing key on the housing prevents inverted or off-row mating, which saves rework time on the assembly bench.
What the 0.100" Pitch Means for Your Board and Harness
At 0.100" pitch, this housing mates with standard AMPMODU Mod IV headers on a 0.100" grid — a layout that has been a TE workhorse for decades. The dual-row arrangement gives 16 circuits in a body roughly 0.8" long, which keeps the connector compact on the wire harness.
A common mistake is to receive the housing and then discover the harness cannot be terminated. The black thermoplastic body uses a polarizing key to ensure the housing only mates one way with its header, which is helpful when the connector is buried in a bundle and you cannot see the orientation.
There is no official TE cross-reference or direct second-source for this exact housing, so the BOM line should reference the TE order code directly.
