What This FORGE Housing Is and Where It Goes
The TE Connectivity 2212243-1 is a panel-mount plug housing from the FORGE series, designed to hold male power pins. It carries 4 positions dedicated to power circuits, arranged in 2 rows. The housing is black and comes in bulk packaging. A mating guide feature is built into the shroud to help align the connector halves during assembly. The base product number is 2212243, and the -1 suffix indicates this specific variant.
Panel-Mount Power Feed — Where This Housing Fits
The panel-mount design lets you fix the housing to a chassis or bulkhead, making it a fixed receptacle for a cable-side plug. The male pins inside carry the power feed from the panel to the mating harness. This is common in industrial control cabinets, power distribution units, and server PDU interconnects where a through-bulkhead power connection is needed. Because this is a power-only housing (no signal or mixed contacts), it suits applications where you need a dedicated power tap from a panel or enclosure wall. The 2-row layout keeps the connector compact for the current it handles.
