8-Position AMPMODU MTE Plug Housing, 0.100" Pitch
The TE Connectivity 103653-7 is an 8-position plug housing from the AMPMODU MTE series. The housing is molded from black Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) and uses a latch holder for positive retention when mated. Typical applications include wire-to-board and wire-to-wire interconnects in industrial controls, automotive body electronics, and telecom equipment where a compact, reliable crimp interface is needed.
Contacts Are Ordered Separately
The listing explicitly states Contacts Not Included. This housing accepts the AMPMODU MTE crimp male pin terminals — order those as a separate line item. The crimp termination allows field assembly with standard tooling, and the LCP housing withstands the crimp insertion force without cracking.
Latch Holder for Vibration Resistance
The latch holder fastening type provides a positive lock when the plug is mated with the corresponding receptacle. This is a practical feature for free-hanging harnesses in environments with vibration or cable strain — the latch prevents the connector from backing off over time.
