The 7.80mm pitch is unusually wide for a 2-position housing — that spacing accommodates larger-gauge power or signal wires and provides generous creepage distance for higher-voltage applications without forcing an oversized connector footprint.
The 2305974-1 is a housing only. The contact termination is crimp, meaning you will also need the correct application tooling (hand crimper or semi-automatic press) and the matching male tab terminals for the plug side. Plan the full three-part interconnect: housing, contacts, and mating plug housing — each with its own order code.
Build and Environment — Free-Hanging, Wide-Temp, Glass-Filled
Free-hanging (in-line) mounting means this housing is used as a cable connector — no PCB footprint needed. ROHS3 compliant per TE's current material declaration.
Mating Half and Cross-Reference
This receptacle mates with a MATEnet plug housing of the same 2-position, 7.80mm pitch configuration. The 1-2333134-5 is a 30-position receptacle on 2.00mm pitch from a different TE series (not MATEnet) and is not a functional cross or substitute.
