The TE Connectivity 2-179228-2 is a 2-position, single-row receptacle housing from the CT series, on a 2.00 mm pitch. It accepts female socket contacts terminated by crimp, and the housing is designed for free-hanging in-line use — no PCB footprint, no board mount. The key note on this line: contacts are not included, so the build requires a separate order for the matching crimp terminals.
Wiring it up — what you need alongside this housing
This is the receptacle half — it mates with the corresponding CT series plug header, which carries male pins. The crimp termination means you need the correct female socket terminal (TE part number for the CT series 2.00 mm pitch) and a hand or pneumatic crimp tool that matches the wire gauge range the terminal supports. The free-hanging design lets you route the harness without a board anchor; the latch on the plug side holds the pair together against vibration once mated.
