It uses a 5.00mm pitch across three rows, giving it a compact but robust layout suited for power distribution in automotive, industrial control, and appliance wiring where vibration resistance and a wide temperature range matter. The housing is moulded from glass-filled PA66 (Nylon 6/6) in a natural colour, rated for continuous operation from -40°C to 120°C — a range that covers underhood automotive and unheated industrial cabinet environments. The 5.00mm pitch provides enough creepage for moderate-voltage power circuits without demanding an oversized connector footprint.
To build a complete plug assembly, you must order the matching tab crimp terminals separately. Without those terminals in the BOM, the housing is just a shell. Termination is crimp-style, so the assembly requires a compatible crimp tool and the correct wire gauge for the chosen contact. The free-hanging mounting style means the housing is not board-locked — it floats in the harness, which helps absorb vibration in mobile equipment.
Mating Half and Key Fit Details
This plug housing mates with the corresponding 967627-series header or receptacle — the exact mating half must share the same 5.00mm pitch, 12-position, 3-row layout. The housing uses tab contacts, so the mating side will carry receptacle contacts. Confirm the mating part number against your existing assembly before committing the BOM. The three-row arrangement with a row spacing of 5.51mm gives a wider body than a single- or dual-row equivalent, which affects bundle routing in tight enclosures. The natural PA66 housing has no integral latch or locking ramp — retention relies on the terminal lock and the mating interface, so a secondary locking mechanism or tie-wrap may be needed in high-vibration runs.
