What This 2-Position Plug Housing Does
The TE Connectivity 172336-1 is a 2-position plug housing from the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK series, designed as the male half of a wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnect. A key detail for the BOM: contacts are not included, so you'll need to order the matching crimp terminals separately.
Mating and Termination — What It Needs to Work
As a free-hanging plug housing with crimp termination, this connector half accepts male or female contacts — the contact type depends on whether you're wiring the plug or receptacle side. The latch lock provides audible and tactile feedback when fully mated to the matching Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK receptacle housing. For the crimp terminals, TE offers several options in the same series; the 4.14 mm pitch and single-row layout keep the assembly straightforward for a harness builder. The housing itself is bulk-packaged, which is typical for panel or harness shop floor stock.
