16-Position Plug Housing for Panel-Mount Harness Applications

Panel Mount with Latch Lock — Vibration-Resistant Retention

The panel-mount flange lets you fix the housing through a cutout in the enclosure wall or bulkhead. The latch lock resists accidental disconnection under vibration.

Crimp Termination — Build the Harness, Then Load the Housing

This is the go-to method for high-reliability harnesses because you can inspect the crimp quality before the contact is buried in the housing. The housing itself is a shell — no contacts, no wire seals, just the PBT body and the latch mechanism. You will need to source the correct TE crimp terminals for the wire gauge your design calls for; the housing accepts standard female sockets from the same series family.

The 16-position count and panel-mount configuration are the defining attributes for BOM matching; confirm the mating header or receptacle half separately, as the housing alone does not include contacts.

Frequently asked questions

What contacts fit the 179631-2 housing?

The 179631-2 accepts female socket contacts terminated via crimp. Contacts are not included with the housing, so you must order the matching TE crimp terminals separately. The exact terminal part number depends on the wire gauge in your harness; consult the TE application tooling guide for the correct contact for your build.

What is the mating connector for 179631-2?

The 179631-2 is a plug housing, so it mates with a corresponding receptacle header or housing that has matching 16-position, 2-row layout and latch-lock retention. The exact mating part depends on the series and pitch of the header; verify the mating half against your existing harness or board design before committing the BOM.
