3-Position Plug Housing for Female Sockets — 0.200" Pitch
The 1986160-3: This is a 3-position, single-level plug housing designed to accept female socket contacts — the mating half for a pin header with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch. The housing is free-hanging (in-line) with a 180° wire entry, meaning the cable exits straight out the back, which simplifies routing in a panel or harness where space behind the connector is available. Retention latches on the non-wire side lock the plug to the mating header — no secondary lock needed for moderate vibration environments.
This plug housing accepts female socket contacts (crimp terminals) that match the 0.200" pitch pin header. The retention latches engage the header latch tines — confirm the header part number includes the matching latch feature. Wire entry is 180°, so the cable exits straight back; the housing is not designed for right-angle cable exit.
