22-Position VAL-U-LOK Receptacle Housing — What It Is and What It Does
The 4.20 mm pitch and matching 4.20 mm row spacing give it a symmetrical grid — the same 0.165" dimension in both directions — which simplifies cavity layout in the mating header. The latch lock engages audibly when mated with the corresponding VAL-U-LOK header, giving a tactile confirmation the pair won't vibrate apart.
Critical: Contacts Are Not Included
The 2-1969614-2 accepts crimp terminals that are installed into the cavities after wire termination. If you're filling a BOM line, make sure the matching crimp contact (typically a VAL-U-LOK female socket for 18-24 AWG) is on the same purchase order, or the harness assembly stops at the housing.
Obsolete — Sourcing Reality for 2-1969614-2
The 2-1969614-2 is listed as Obsolete. If you're designing a new harness, the VAL-U-LOK series continues with active 22-position dual-row receptacles at the same 4.20 mm pitch; the distributor can help identify a current-production equivalent against the mating header you're using.
This receptacle mates with a VAL-U-LOK dual-row header at the same 4.20 mm pitch. The natural PA66 body gives clear visual confirmation that the terminal is seated past the lance.
