It carries a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch across three rows, with a natural polyamide 6/6 (PA66) body and a latch-lock fastening system that holds the mated pair under vibration. The housing accepts crimp terminals (sold separately — contacts are not included in this order code) and terminates via standard crimp tooling for field or production harness builds.
What the 3.96mm Pitch and 3-Row Layout Mean for Your Harness
The 3.96mm pitch is a standard power-class spacing — wide enough to carry decent current per circuit without excessive creepage concerns, but compact enough to keep the connector footprint manageable for a 12-position, 3-row layout. The three rows mean the mating header will have a corresponding 3-row pin arrangement; verify your header's row count before committing the BOM line. The latch lock provides positive retention in high-vibration environments — you'll hear it click when fully seated, and it won't back out under cable strain.
Contacts Not Included — Plan Your Terminal Order
The crimp terminals (tab-type contacts) must be ordered separately. Match the terminal to your wire gauge and current requirement — the Universal Power series uses standard tab contacts that are widely stocked. Without the terminals, this housing is just a shell; budget for both line items on the BOM.
