12-Position Power Double Lock Receptacle Housing, 3.96mm Pitch
The TE Connectivity 177913-1 is a 12-position receptacle housing from the Power Double Lock series, designed for wire-to-wire and wire-to-board power interconnects where a positive-lock, vibration-resistant mate is required. The 3.96mm pitch and 4.60mm row spacing provide adequate creepage for the series' typical power-level voltages, while the three-row layout keeps the connector footprint compact for the circuit count.
The 3.96mm pitch is the standard for this series — it sets the board footprint for the mating header and the crimp terminal spacing in the harness. The 12-position count matches a 12-circuit BOM line; the three rows mean the connector is wider than a single- or dual-row equivalent, so check the enclosure clearance. The latch holder fastening type locks the housing to its mating header, resisting unmate from vibration or cable tug — a real advantage in a harness that sees movement. The panel mount, snap-in feature lets you clip the housing into a chassis cutout without hardware, speeding assembly.
Contacts Not Included — Order Separately
This housing ships without contacts — the tab-type crimp terminals must be ordered separately. The Power Double Lock series uses specific male tab contacts.
