3-Position, 1.00mm Pitch — What This Housing Is For
The housing itself does not carry current; the separate female socket contacts (not included) handle that.
Contacts Not Included — Plan Your BOM
This is a common practice for HPI-series connectors, where the terminal is chosen based on wire gauge and current requirement. For a harness build, you will need the matching crimp terminal (TE part number not listed here, but the series-specific terminal for 1.00mm pitch HPI receptacles). The crimp termination gives a gas-tight connection on the wire, and the housing provides the primary latch retention. Without the contacts, this is just an empty shell — confirm the terminal part number before the build starts.
Comparison: 1470364-3 vs 1379217-6
The closest functional sibling in the ledger is the 1379217-6, also a free-hanging HPI receptacle housing with female socket contacts, crimp termination, and a locking ramp fastening. The key difference: 1470364-3 has 3 positions, while 1379217-6 has 5 positions (3 signal + 2 power). Both use the same 1.00mm pitch? No — 1379217-6 does not list a pitch in its summary, but the HPI series is consistent at 1.00mm. The locking ramp on 1379217-6 provides a positive latch that the 1470364-3 does not explicitly list — if vibration resistance is critical, check the fastening feature on the mating half. The 3-position housing is for a smaller circuit count; the 5-position version adds two power contacts alongside three signal. For a 3-circuit harness, the 1470364-3 is the correct choice.
It is a free-hanging design — no PCB mounting, so it is used for wire-to-wire or wire-to-board connections where the receptacle is on a cable harness. The crimp termination requires a hand tool or semi-automatic press for the female socket contacts. The housing has no board locks or panel mount features; it is held in place by the mating interface and the wire strain relief.
