Five-Position Power Receptacle Housing for Crimp Terminals
Typical use is in wire-to-wire or wire-to-board power harnesses inside automotive, industrial control, or appliance assemblies where a rugged, field-serviceable connection is needed.
Pitch and Board Layout
At 8.50 mm, the contact spacing gives enough room for 14-18 AWG wire with standard insulation — no need to strip back the jacket for clearance. For a 5-position layout, the total width across the contacts is about 34 mm (1.34"), which fits a standard terminal block footprint or a dedicated power connector cutout.
Ordering the Right Crimp Terminals
TE offers several terminal part numbers for this cavity family; the correct terminal depends on the wire gauge (typically 14-18 AWG for this pitch class) and the plating grade (tin for standard duty, gold for high-cycle or corrosive environments).
Latch Retention and Environmental Range
The material is not rated for continuous outdoor UV exposure unless specified; for sealed outdoor use, verify the mating header provides an IP-rated seal.
How It Compares to 1379217-6
The closest functional peer in the same family is 1379217-6, also a 5-position receptacle housing with the same 0.335" (8.50 mm) pitch and free-hanging mount. The main differences: 1452348-1 is black with a latch holder, while 1379217-6 is white with a locking ramp. Both accept the same crimp terminals and mate with the same header family. The choice between them is cosmetic (color) and a matter of preferred retention style — the latch holder on 1452348-1 provides a more positive audible click during mating.
