What is the TE 2213225-1 and where does it fit?
It accepts socket (female) crimp contacts and mounts through a panel, making it a bulkhead or enclosure feed-through connector for power distribution. The housing is keyed to prevent mismating in multi-connector installations, a practical detail when a technician is swapping a harness in the field and cannot afford a cross-pin. Rated 20A per circuit at 400V, this is a power-class connector, not a signal line. The 20A rating means each contact carries enough current for a motor drive, a DC-DC converter feed, or a battery interconnect — sized for the main power rail, not a sensor loop. The 400V voltage rating gives headroom for 240VAC or 380VDC industrial bus voltages without derating concerns. The IP67 ingress protection rating — dust-tight and waterproof to 1m immersion — tells you this connector is meant for outdoor cabinets, washdown areas, or engine compartments where moisture and debris are a given.
What contacts and mating half does 2213225-1 need?
For the crimp contacts themselves, TE offers several options in the Nector M contact family. The contact wire range, plating, and current rating must match the 20A requirement.
How does 2213225-1 compare to 1-2213614-1?
The 1-2213614-1 is a different connector family entirely — a board-to-board blade-and-receptacle hermaphroditic connector with a 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch, rated 6A, with gold-plated contacts and an LCP housing. It is not a functional alternative for the 2213225-1. The 2213225-1 is a sealed, panel-mount, crimp-style power plug housing rated 20A at 400V with IP67 protection. The only common thread is the TE Connectivity brand.
