The TE Connectivity Metrimate 207443-1 is a 18-position, 3-row receptacle housing on a 5.00mm pitch, same spacing between rows. The black PA66 body handles -55°C to 130°C, so it's fine underhood or on an industrial cabinet backplane. Contacts are not included; you source the male pins separately for this housing.
Pitch and Row Spacing — What Bolts In
Both the pitch and row spacing are 0.197" (5.00mm). That's the same grid in both directions, so the mating header's pin field is a square array. If you're swapping a dead housing on a machine, measure center-to-center on the existing header pins — if it's 5.00mm in X and Y, this housing lines up. No footprint guesswork.
ROHS3 compliant. No official second source or cross-reference exists for the Metrimate series.
This is a receptacle housing that accepts male pin contacts via crimp (or solder — the housing itself doesn't care, but the contact termination method does). The mating half is a Metrimate pin header with the same 5.00mm pitch and 3-row layout. The latch lock on this housing grabs the header's mating ramp. No TPA (terminal position assurance) is mentioned in the spec, so seat the contacts fully and pull-test each one.
