The TE Connectivity 1473416-2 is a 26-position plug housing from the Superseal series, a sealed connector family designed for automotive and industrial environments where moisture, vibration, and temperature cycling are the norm.
Why the 'Contacts Not Included' Note Matters for Your BOM
The housing ships without crimp terminals — the mating female sockets must be ordered separately as a distinct line item. This is the most common sourcing miss on Superseal housings: the BOM gets the housing code right but omits the terminal part number, which stops the harness build.
Crimp Termination and Field Service Reality
Crimp termination means the terminals are attached to wires with a crimp tool before being inserted into the housing. This is the standard for sealed automotive connectors — it gives a gas-tight connection that survives thermal cycling and vibration without loosening. For field replacement, the terminals can be extracted with the correct removal tool, allowing individual circuit repair without replacing the whole harness section.
