The TE Connectivity 1318774-2 is a 12-position, dual-row plug housing from the.025 series, designed for free-hanging in-line wire-to-wire interconnects. The 2.20 mm pitch and 3.00 mm row spacing set the footprint for the mating receptacle — this housing accepts female socket contacts (sold separately) and mates with the corresponding.025 series receptacle housing. The locking ramp on the fastening type provides a positive mechanical latch, making this suitable for harnesses that see vibration or occasional tugging in automotive, industrial control, or appliance applications.
Contacts Are Not Included — Plan Your BOM
The single most common mistake on this part: the 1318774-2 ships as an empty housing. The note 'Contacts Not Included' means you must order the matching.025 series female crimp terminals separately. The contact termination is crimp, so you will also need the appropriate crimp tool for the wire gauge range the terminals accept. Factor the terminal order code and tooling into your BOM line — the housing alone will not make a connection.
