The TE Connectivity AMPMODU MTE 104257-9 is a 10-position single-row receptacle housing that accepts crimp-terminated female socket contacts.
Sourcing the Right Contacts
These are typically ordered as loose pieces or on tape for automated crimping. The wire gauge range and plating options (tin vs. selective gold) depend on the specific terminal part number — gold is preferred for applications requiring more than a few mating cycles or exposure to corrosive atmospheres. Confirm the terminal order code against the wire size you're terminating before committing the build.
Mating Half and Assembly
For field replacement or rework, the crimp terminals can be extracted with a proper removal tool without damaging the housing. The free-hanging design means it's wired into the harness first, then mated to the board-mounted header during final assembly.
No official second-source cross-reference is on record, but the AMPMODU MTE series is widely inventoried.
