What This SQUIB Plug Housing Is
It's a key component in a SQUIB (Squib) circuit, typically used in automotive airbag and safety restraint systems where a reliable, one-time deployment connection is critical.
The 2-position count is the first check against your BOM line. With a pitch of 0.122" (3.10mm), this housing is wider than typical signal connectors, a deliberate choice for the current and voltage demands of a SQUIB firing circuit.
Key Features: TPA and Lever Lock
Two features set this housing apart for safety-critical use. The Terminal Position Lock (TPA) is a secondary lock that slides over the loaded terminals, confirming each crimped contact is fully seated and preventing it from backing out under vibration. The lever lock provides a positive, audible snap when mated with the corresponding header, giving a clear tactile confirmation that the connection is secure. In a SQUIB circuit, a partially mated connector is a failure mode you don't want.
Operating Environment and Temperature Range
The PBT insulation material handles the typical under-dash and interior environment well, including exposure to humidity and common automotive chemicals.
