42-Position Sealed Receptacle Housing — What It Is
The TE Connectivity 1355469-2 is a 42-position receptacle housing designed for sealed, free-hanging harness assemblies. It uses a slide-on fastening system with a mating flange for positive retention — no threads or bayonet ring, just push to mate. The gray PBT body accepts tab-style contacts, and the slide-on fastening with the mating flange keeps the pair locked under vibration.
Sealing and Retention
The sealed housing (: Sealed) with a mating flange means this connector is meant for applications where moisture or dust ingress is a concern — think engine harness, sensor connections, or exterior lighting. The slide-on fastening gives a quick, positive mate without tools, and the flange provides a secondary lock against accidental disconnection.
