The 103681-5: It is a free-hanging (in-line) crimp housing designed for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnects in harness assemblies. The latch holder fastening provides a positive lock against vibration in industrial control cabinets, automotive interior harnesses, or appliance wiring. Contacts are not included — the housing accepts separately ordered AMPMODU MTE male pin crimp terminals.
Key Fit and Procurement Details
The single-row, 16-position layout is a direct BOM line match for a 16-circuit harness. Because contacts are not included, the buyer must order the mating male pin crimp terminals (AMPMODU MTE series) separately — verify the wire gauge range and plating grade (tin vs. gold) of the terminal to match the application's mating cycle and environmental requirements. The latch holder fastening engages with the mating header's latch to prevent accidental disconnection under vibration or cable strain.
