Sealed 4-Position Receptacle for Harsh Environments
The TE Connectivity 2-2208157-1 is a 4-circuit, 2-row receptacle housing from the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, part of the MCP 1.5K/5.8 family. The slide-on fastening provides a quick, positive mate with the corresponding plug housing, and the black glass-filled PBT insulation handles the -40°C to 140°C operating range typical of under-hood automotive, industrial washdown, and outdoor equipment applications.
The 2-2208157-1 accepts the MCP 1.5K/5.8 series terminals, which are crimp-terminated to the wire before insertion into the housing. The 2-row, 4-position layout (2 circuits per row) gives a compact footprint for a sealed connector; the slide-on fastening engages with the mating plug housing without a locking ramp, so the retention relies on the housing latch and the terminal locks within the cavity. Confirm the wire gauge range and terminal part number from the MCP 1.5K/5.8 application tooling documentation before building the harness.
Mating Plug and System Fit
The mating plug housing for this receptacle is a slide-on style header from the same Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series family. The 2-2208157-1 is a 4-position, 2-row receptacle, so the mating plug must match that circuit count and row arrangement.
