The TE Connectivity 172213-6 is a 6-position single-row plug housing from the EI series, designed for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnect applications where a panel-mounted, snap-in retained housing is needed. The 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch matches a standard footprint for crimp-terminated male pins, and the natural PA66 (Nylon 6/6) housing provides the dielectric and mechanical properties for general-purpose use within a -20°C to 95°C operating range.
Mounting and Termination — What to Expect
This housing mounts into a panel cutout with a snap-in fit — no additional hardware or fasteners required. The crimp termination means you supply the male pin contacts separately (the listing explicitly notes contacts are not included), then insert them into the housing cavities. The single-row layout keeps the assembly narrow, suited for space-constrained panels or harness breakouts.
