Product details

Housing First, Then Contacts — What the 281838-8 Actually Is

The TE Connectivity 281838-8 is an 8-position, single-row receptacle housing from the HE13/HE14 series. The glass-filled PBT housing handles -55°C to 125°C, which covers automotive underhood and industrial cabinet duty. Black colour, bulk packaging.

The Contacts Are the Missing Piece

The female socket contacts are crimp-terminated and inserted into the housing after crimping. Without the correct crimp terminal, this housing is just a shell; the BOM line needs both the housing and the terminal part number.
