What This 3-Position Grace Inertia Housing Does
The TE 1871867-1 is a 3-position single-row plug housing from the Grace Inertia (GIC) series — a free-hanging, in-line connector body that accepts female socket contacts via crimp termination. The 6.20 mm pitch gives generous spacing between circuits, making it suited for power or signal wiring where creepage distance matters. The housing is moulded in natural polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 and uses a latch lock fastening to hold the mating half securely, so you should hear it click when fully seated. It operates from -30°C to 105°C, which covers most industrial cabinet and automotive interior environments.
Contacts Are Ordered Separately — Know Your Terminal
This housing ships without contacts — the listing explicitly notes contacts not included. You need to source the matching TE female socket crimp terminals separately. The crimp termination means you'll attach the terminal to the wire with a crimp tool, then insert it into the housing cavity until the latch locks. If it backs out, it's scrap — so use the correct terminal and verify full insertion.
