The TE Connectivity 2-1355200-1 is a 2-circuit receptacle housing from the MCP (Multi-Connection Power) series, designed as the wire-side half of a wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnect. The 6.00 mm pitch is wide enough for power-grade contacts — this is not a signal-density spacing. The housing accepts female socket contacts (ordered separately) that are crimped onto the wire, then inserted into the cavity. The latch holder fastening type provides a positive lock against vibration-induced separation, which matters in automotive engine compartments and industrial machinery where the harness sees constant motion.
Contacts, Termination, and Mating
Contacts are not included with this housing — the buyer must order the matching MCP female crimp terminals separately. The crimp termination accepts the wire directly; no soldering or IDC tooling is needed. The free-hanging (in-line) mounting style means this receptacle sits in the middle of a harness, not on a PCB. The mating plug is the corresponding MCP male header housing (same series, same 6.00 mm pitch, same cavity count). The latch holder on the receptacle engages with the mating half's locking ramp for a retention that holds under cable pull.
Materials and Operating Range
The housing is molded in natural polyamide with glass fill. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed.
