8-Position Plug Housing for .025 Series Harnesses
The locking ramp on this plug housing engages with a corresponding ramp on the mating receptacle, creating an audible and tactile latch that resists un-mating from cable tug or vibration. For a harness routed inside a vehicle door or a machine control panel, that latch is the difference between a connection that stays put and one that walks loose over time.
The female socket crimp terminals that go into each of the 8 cavities must be sourced separately from the same.025 series. That means the BOM line for this connector is two line items — the housing and the terminals — and the crimp tooling needs to match the terminal wire range. First-time specifiers sometimes treat the housing as a complete connector; it is not.
