The TE Connectivity Junior Power Timer 1746894-1 is a 2-position plug housing designed for in-line wire-to-wire or wire-to-device connections in automotive and industrial power distribution. The housing accepts male pin contacts (ordered separately) and secures them with a latch holder that locks audibly on mating — no secondary retainer required for most applications. The PBT insulation handles underhood temperatures from -40°C to 130°C, and the black colour is standard for the Junior Power Timer series.
Does the 1746894-1 include contacts?
No — the 1746894-1 ships as a bare housing only. The listing explicitly notes Contacts Not Included. You will need to order the matching Junior Power Timer male pin crimp terminals separately, typically from the TE 1-928918 series or equivalent. The housing is designed for field-installable crimp contacts, so the wire gauge and terminal part number must be confirmed before the build.
Where does the latch holder matter?
The latch holder fastening type provides a positive mechanical lock between the plug and the mating receptacle housing. In a harness that sees vibration — engine bay, chassis routing, or industrial machinery — the latch prevents the connector from walking loose.
