5-Position Free-Hanging Plug Housing for 2.50 mm Pitch Harnesses
The TE Connectivity 172211-5 is a 5-position plug housing from the EI series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnects at a 0.098" (2.50 mm) pitch. This is the male plug half that mates with a corresponding EI series receptacle housing to complete a 5-circuit harness. Rated for an operating temperature range of -20°C to 95°C, the PA66 housing provides a solid balance of mechanical strength and cost for internal, dry-environment applications. The single-row, 5-position layout keeps the connector compact — useful where panel or enclosure space is tight.
What Fits — Contacts and Mating Half
The housing ships without contacts. The free-hanging mount means no panel flange or board-lock hardware — the connector is retained by the friction of the mated pair and the latch on the mating half. For applications that see vibration, a secondary locking feature (if available in the receptacle) or a wire-tie through the housing body can add security.
The closest functional sibling is the 1-1376477-6, a 6-position plug housing at the same 0.098" (2.50 mm) pitch and free-hanging mount, but in red PA66 with glass fill. The difference is strictly the circuit count — 5 positions vs 6 — so if your BOM calls for 5 circuits, the 172211-5 is the match; the 6-position version won't fit a 5-circuit harness without leaving a cavity empty.
