The TE Connectivity FORGE 2212245-1 is a receptacle housing for female sockets, designed as a panel-mount power interconnect in the FORGE series. It carries 4 power positions across 2 rows — a low-circuit-count layout suited for moderate-current distribution rather than dense signal routing. The black housing includes a guide pin to key alignment during mating, and comes in bulk packaging.
Panel-Mount Installation and Mating
Mounting style is panel mount, meaning the housing secures through a cutout in an enclosure or bulkhead — typical for industrial cabinets, power distribution boxes, or heavy equipment where the connector stays fixed and the cable side mates to it. The guide pin feature helps prevent misalignment during engagement, which matters when the connector is behind a panel and visibility is limited. As a receptacle housing for female sockets, it accepts the matching FORGE plug housing with male terminals.
It is ROHS3 compliant.
