The housing carries a Sealed feature rating, meaning it accepts a seal (integrated or as a separate component) to protect the contacts from moisture and debris. The latch holder fastening type keeps the mated pair locked against vibration — a requirement in automotive and off-highway harness builds.
Sourcing the housing and the missing contacts
The listing states Contacts Not Included.
Mating and locking — what it connects to
The single-row, 2-position layout means there is no keying variation; the latch orientation defines the mate direction. In a harness assembly, the free-hanging design lets you route the wires before mating, which is useful in tight engine compartments where connector position is fixed by the bracket.
Why the sealed feature matters for your harness
The Sealed feature on this housing is not optional — it is the reason you pick this MCON part over an unsealed alternative. In automotive engine compartments, washdown zones, or outdoor industrial enclosures, the seal keeps water spray and dust out of the contact interface. The 130°C upper operating limit covers underhood heat soak, and the -40°C low end handles cold-start conditions. If your application is dry and vibration-free, an unsealed housing at the same pitch may cost less; if it sees moisture or washdown, this sealed MCON receptacle is the correct call.
