12-Position Plug Housing for MCP 1.5K/2.8 Harnesses
The TE Connectivity 1452303-1 is a 12-position plug housing from the MCP 1.5K/2.8 series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire harness applications. With three rows and a 0.226" (5.75 mm) row spacing, this plug housing provides a compact but serviceable wire layout — the 12 circuits are arranged in a 3x4 grid, which keeps the connector width manageable while still allowing room for the crimp contacts and wire seals. The green colour is a visual cue on the line: it distinguishes this plug from other MCP housings in a multi-connector harness, reducing the chance of a mis-mate during assembly.
This housing accepts tab-style crimp contacts — the MCP 1.5K/2.8 terminal family. No special tool is needed beyond the standard crimp applicator for the MCP contact series. The 3-row layout means the harness builder routes wires in three layers, which can simplify bundling compared to a single-row 12-position connector. The free-hanging design lets the connector float in the harness — no panel cutout or board mount required.
