The TE Connectivity 282087-1 is a 3-position plug housing from the Superseal series, a sealed interconnect family designed for automotive and industrial environments where moisture and vibration are daily realities. The operating range of -40°C ~ 125°C matches the thermal cycling inside an engine bay or an outdoor enclosure.
The Contacts Trap — What You Actually Need to Order
The listing explicitly notes contacts are not included. This housing accepts female socket crimp terminals — the Superseal series uses a specific contact that seals the wire entry. Order the matching crimp terminals separately; without them the housing is just an empty shell.
Mating Half and Sealing Reality
This plug housing mates with the matching Superseal receptacle header (male pins). The latch lock fastening type provides positive retention, and the housing material — glass-filled PA66 — holds the seal gasket in compression when mated. The Superseal series is rated IP67 when correctly mated with the proper seals and contacts, though the exact IP rating is not stated in this listing.
