FORGE Plug Housing — 5-Position Panel-Mount
The TE Connectivity 2212282-1 is a FORGE series plug housing designed to hold male pins in a 5-position, single-row arrangement.
Panel-Mount Fit and Envelope
Panel mount means this housing snaps or bolts into a cutout on the equipment chassis or junction box, keeping the connector fixed while the cable-side receptacle mates to it. The single-row 5-position layout keeps the panel opening compact — useful when routing power lines through a confined backplane or cabinet wall. The black housing is the standard colour for the FORGE series, and the bulk packaging suits low-to-medium volume production runs where tape-and-reel feed is unnecessary.
Procurement Note: Contacts Are Separate
The listing explicitly states contacts are not included. This is the most common sourcing miss on this part — the buyer orders the housing and expects a finished connector, then has to place a second order for the male crimp terminals. Factor the terminal cost and lead time into the total BOM line, not just the housing.
For a production run, confirm the mating receptacle housing and the male terminal part number at the same time to avoid a split shipment.
