Single-Wire Power Lock Housing for Field Repairs and Discrete Runs
The TE Metrimate 207535-1 is a 1-position power lock housing from the Metrimate series. It is a self-mating connector, meaning it accepts both male and female crimp contacts (sold separately), so a single housing type can serve as either the plug or receptacle half of a connection. This makes it a practical choice for field-service repairs, single-wire power taps, or any application where you need a discrete, free-hanging interconnect without a board mount.
What the Self-Mating Design Means for Your Harness
Because the 207535-1 is self-mating, you only need to stock one housing part number for both sides of a single-wire connection. The housing accepts male or female contacts (crimp and solder termination), so you choose the contact gender based on the circuit requirement. This simplifies inventory for maintenance kits or low-volume builds where carrying separate plug and receptacle housings isn't justified. The housing is free-hanging (in-line) with no mounting flange — it's designed to sit in the wire run, not on a panel or board. The single-row, single-position layout keeps the assembly compact for tight spaces in control cabinets or harness junctions.
Temperature Range and Material for Industrial Environments
The housing is available in black or red — the colour is a visual identifier, not a functional difference.
