Three-Position Plug Housing for Power and Signal Harnesses
The 5.00mm pitch provides enough spacing for moderate current per circuit — typical for power distribution in industrial controls, automotive body harnesses, and appliance wiring where the housing carries the terminal retention and the connector position assurance (CPA) feature locks the mate against vibration.
What the 5.00mm Pitch and CPA Feature Mean for the Build
The 5.00mm pitch is a common spacing for power connectors in the 5 A to 15 A per circuit range — wide enough to keep creepage and clearance between adjacent circuits without forcing a large connector footprint. The latch holder fastening type secures the housing to its mating half, and the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) feature provides a secondary lock that confirms full engagement and resists back-out under shock or vibration — a practical requirement for engine compartments or industrial machinery where a loose mate means intermittent faults.
This plug housing does not include contacts. The housing accepts the terminals through the rear and the latch holder retains them.
