What This 7-Position Mini Multilock Plug Housing Does in the Harness
It carries 3 rows at a 2.40 mm pitch with a 2.00 mm row spacing, and the locking ramp fastening gives positive retention in environments where vibration can work a connector loose — typical for automotive body electronics, industrial sensors, and appliance harnesses.
The Contacts-Not-Included Detail That Trips Up a BOM
The listing carries a note: contacts are not included. This housing accepts the Mini Multilock female socket crimp terminals — you order those separately as a line item. A common miss on this series is ordering only the housing and assuming contacts ride along.
Locking Ramp and 3-Row Layout for Field Assembly
That's the retention mechanism for vibration resistance; no secondary lock or screw is needed for most harness runs. The 3-row, 7-position layout is asymmetric, so the housing is keyed against mis-mating with a different circuit-count header. Mates with the Mini Multilock receptacle header of the same 2.40 mm pitch and position count.
