Housing for a Dual-Row Harness
The 2324579-8: It is a free-hanging (in-line) connector body that accepts female socket crimp terminals — the contacts are ordered separately.
Contacts Are a Separate Line Item
The listing explicitly notes that contacts are not included with this housing. For a complete wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnect, order the matching Economy Power 2.5 female crimp terminals separately. The housing accepts the standard socket contact for 20-24 AWG wire, terminated with a hand or automatic crimp tool. The dual-row layout means the 8 positions occupy a compact footprint, with the 2.50 mm row spacing matching the pitch for consistent wire dressing in the harness.
Locking Ramp for Vibration Resistance
The locking ramp fastening type provides a positive mechanical latch that clicks into place on the mating header. This is a field-serviceable retention method — the latch releases with a squeeze, allowing connector separation without tools.
