The TE Connectivity 2132781-2 is a 2-position receptacle housing from the Economy Power II series, designed for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire power interconnects in appliances, industrial controls, and lighting. The housing accepts female socket crimp terminals that are ordered separately — the bag ships empty, so the BOM must include the matching contact.
Why the 2-Position Count Matters for Your Harness
A 2-position housing is the smallest member of the Economy Power II receptacle family — it fits a single power pair or a signal loop where only two circuits are needed. The single-row layout keeps the harness narrow, and the free-hanging (in-line) mount means no board footprint is required; the housing crimps onto the wire and mates with a board-mounted header. The latch holder fastening type gives a positive lock against vibration, so the pair stays mated in equipment that sees fan vibration or transport shock.
Terminals and Crimp — What to Order Separately
The 2132781-2 ships without contacts, as noted on the label. The female socket terminals for the Economy Power II series are crimp-style and must be ordered by their own part number — typically the TE 1-1123722- series for the appropriate wire gauge. Confirm the terminal wire range against your harness build before committing the BOM.
