What This 2-Position Hermaphroditic Connector Does
The TE Connectivity 2213616-1 is a 2-position hermaphroditic blade and receptacle connector on a 0.157" (4.00 mm) pitch. Its hermaphroditic design means the same part serves as both plug and receptacle — one order code covers both halves of the mate, simplifying BOM management and inventory. Rated 6 A per circuit at 125 V, it handles moderate board-to-board power distribution in compact assemblies. The right-angle SMT termination mounts at the board edge, keeping the connector footprint flush with the PCB outline for space-constrained layouts.
Two positions match a 2-circuit power or signal pair — confirm your BOM line count against this number. The board guide feature centers the connector during mating, reducing shear stress on the SMT solder joints during assembly or vibration.
The LCP housing withstands reflow temperatures, and gold-plated copper alloy contacts resist corrosion in humid or mildly corrosive environments. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place for volume production.
