The TE Connectivity 2-87499-5 is a 14-position, single-row receptacle housing from the AMPMODU Mod IV series. The housing is free-hanging (in-line) and accepts crimp terminals — the contacts are ordered separately, so the BOM line for this part is just the plastic shell.
The One Thing That Trips Up Buyers: Contacts Not Included
The listing explicitly states Contacts Not Included. This housing ships empty — you need to order the matching AMPMODU Mod IV crimp terminals separately. The housing accepts both male and female contacts, so the same shell can serve as either a plug or receptacle side depending on which terminal you load. The 14-position count at 0.100" pitch means the mating header must also be 14 circuits with the same spacing — a 12- or 16-position header won't fit.
Temperature Range and Material
The thermoplastic insulation is rated for -65°C to 105°C, which covers most commercial and industrial environments including underhood automotive and outdoor telecom cabinets. The black housing colour is standard across the 87499 family. The housing is ROHS3 compliant.
