It accepts tab-style contacts (sold separately — the housing ships empty) and terminates via crimp, making it a field-serviceable, no-solder connection point for harness assemblies. The 2.20 mm pitch and dual-row layout with 3.00 mm row spacing place this in the.025 family's mid-density range — tighter than a 0.100-inch header, but with enough room between rows for the crimp barrel and wire bend radius.
Why the 'Contacts Not Included' Note Matters
The single most common mistake with this part is ordering only the housing and discovering there are no terminals in the bag. TE's.025 terminal family includes several plating and wire-gauge options; the correct terminal depends on your conductor size (typically 20-24 AWG for this series) and your required mating-cycle life.
