The 2098067-7 is a 28-position plug housing from TE Connectivity's hybrid connector family, built for wire-to-board applications where you need multiple signal and power circuits in one connector body. The five-row layout packs 28 female socket cavities into a green PBT glass-filled shell that's free-hanging (in-line) and secured with a locking ramp — no header required on the wire side. This is a step up from a friction-lock housing, but it's not a secondary lock — if your harness sees heavy flex or constant movement, consider adding a TPA (terminal position assurance) device if the system supports one. It won't handle sustained under-hood engine-bay heat above 85°C, but for passenger compartment, HVAC, or machinery junction boxes it's well within the envelope.
Confirm the contact part number from the hybrid connector system drawing before placing the BOM. The mating header is a TE hybrid header with 28 positions in a 5-row configuration and a locking ramp receptacle. The exact header part number depends on the mounting style and contact plating.
