Single-Wire Sealed Pass-Through Housing
The TE Connectivity 2098198-5 is a sealed single-position plug housing built for one-wire pass-through in harness assemblies that need an environmental seal. The black glass-filled nylon (PA) housing handles -40°C to 155°C, which puts it in the underhood or outdoor-grade bracket rather than a dry-cabinet interconnect.
What Contacts Fit and Why They're Sold Separately
The housing accepts a female socket contact terminated by crimp. The wire gauge range for the compatible contact is not listed on this housing spec, so the contact order code must be confirmed against the wire size in the assembly drawing.
Sealed for Outdoor and Harsh Environments
The 'Sealed' feature flag means the housing is designed to keep moisture and contaminants out of the splice point when mated with the corresponding receptacle and properly crimped contacts. The -40°C to 155°C operating range backs this up — it's rated for engine compartments, outdoor telecom cabinets, and industrial washdown zones where a standard unsealed header would corrode or fail. The latch holder keeps the pair mated against vibration without relying on a secondary clip.
