20-Position Dual-Row Plug at 4.20mm Pitch — What This Connector Is
The TE Connectivity VAL-U-LOK 2-2029090-0 is a 20-position, dual-row plug housing from the VAL-U-LOK series, pitched at 0.165" (4.20mm) on both the row-to-row and contact centers.
Obsolete — Planning the Replacement Path
The 2-2029090-0 is officially listed as Obsolete. Before committing, confirm the mating half (a VAL-U-LOK receptacle housing with the same 20-position, dual-row, 4.20mm pitch layout) and the crimp terminal part number used in your existing harness assembly, then verify that any substitute housing maintains the same locking ramp interface and polarization.
The listing note reads Contacts Not Included. The crimp termination style means the wire-to-contact connection is mechanical, not soldered, which suits automated harness assembly but requires the correct application tooling for consistent pull-force. If your BOM line only lists this housing, add the matching TE VAL-U-LOK crimp terminal to the pick list before the harness shop hits a stop.
