18-Position Power Receptacle Housing for Panel-Mount Harnesses
The TE Connectivity 176301-1 is an 18-position receptacle housing from the Universal Power series, designed for panel-mount wire-to-wire power interconnects where a vibration-resistant mate is required. The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch and three-row layout give it a compact footprint for 18 circuits, while the locking ramp fastening keeps the mated pair from walking apart under road buzz or machine vibration — a common failure mode on friction-only connectors in automotive and industrial harnesses.
What Mates With This Housing and What It Needs to Build
Termination is crimp, so you'll need the correct male pin terminal for your wire gauge and a hand or automated crimp tool. The panel-mount snap-in feature lets you fix the housing to a cutout before mating, which simplifies assembly on a harness board or enclosure wall.
