6-Position Metrimate Receptacle — Contacts Are the Missing Piece
The TE Connectivity Metrimate 207153-1 is a 6-position, 2-row receptacle housing on a 5.00 mm pitch. It accepts male pin contacts crimped and soldered into the cavities — but the contacts themselves are not included in this order code. The latch lock on the sides gives the mated pair positive retention when vibration or cable strain is present, which is the usual reason someone reaches for the Metrimate series over a basic pin-and-socket connector.
The 5.00 mm centreline gives enough room for 20-16 AWG wire with a standard crimp terminal, and the 2-row layout keeps the connector width under 20 mm. If your harness calls for 6 circuits at this pitch, the 207153-1 is the correct receptacle housing — there is no position-count variation within this same order code. That 0.08 mm delta in pitch is enough to misalign the terminal cavities if you try to mix them in the same harness.
