Economy Power Receptacle Housing, 8 Circuits
The TE Connectivity 1744036-8 is an 8-position receptacle housing from the Economy Power series, designed for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire power interconnects in harness assemblies. The 5.08 mm pitch provides ample creepage for power-level voltages without crowding the wire bundle, and the single-row layout keeps the connector narrow for space-constrained enclosures.
What the 5.08 mm Pitch Means for the Build
The latch lock fastening type gives a positive audible click when mated, holding the pair together under vibration without requiring a secondary screw or clip. For field-service harness work, the latch is tool-less and the housing releases by pressing the ramp.
Contacts Not Included — Order Separately
The 1744036-8 ships as a housing only — the female socket crimp terminals must be ordered separately. The contact termination is crimp, so the harness builder selects the wire gauge and terminal plating (tin for standard duty, gold for high-cycle or corrosive environments) to match the application. The housing accepts the standard Economy Power crimp terminal; confirm the terminal part number for the wire size before committing the BOM.
