Sealed 3-Position Housing for Harness Builds
The TE Connectivity Standard Timer 2098541-5 is a 3-circuit receptacle housing built for sealed wire-to-wire or wire-to-device interconnects in harsh environments. The 4.00 mm pitch leaves room for power-grade wiring without crowding the cavity layout — typical for 14-18 AWG circuits carrying moderate current. The brown PA66 body carries a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) latch and a sealing feature, so this housing is intended for applications where the mated pair needs to stay locked and protected against moisture ingress.
What the Sealing and CPA Mean for the Installation
Combined with the sealing feature, this housing is suited for underhood automotive, off-highway equipment, or industrial washdown zones where a loose mate would cause intermittent faults. The -40°C to 150°C operating range confirms it can handle engine-bay thermal cycling without the nylon housing embrittling or softening.
Crimp Termination — Order Contacts Separately
The free-hanging (in-line) mount means the housing accepts a pre-crimped wire assembly and latches into the male header or device-side receptacle. The single-row, 3-position layout keeps the wire exit in one plane, which simplifies routing in a harness bundle.
