Sizing the BOM Line — Contacts and Mating Half
The first thing to note: this is a housing only. The latch holder locks the terminal in place and the secondary retention feature on the housing confirms full seat. Stock both halves or neither — an orphan receptacle with no header on the shelf ties up your BOM line.
The 16 positions in a dual-row layout (2 rows of 8) keep the housing width manageable for harness routing. If your BOM calls for 16 circuits, this housing matches the position count exactly — no empty cavities, no partial fill.
The black thermoplastic housing is a stocked production item, not a surplus odd lot.
