What This 2-Position Sealed Plug Housing Is For
The TE Connectivity 2822363-1 is a 2-position plug housing from the EconoSeal J Mark II series, designed for sealed wire-to-wire or wire-to-device interconnects in automotive, off-highway, and industrial environments where moisture and vibration are present. The housing is sealed and uses a latch holder for positive retention — the latch clicks home and resists unseating from engine vibration or equipment jolts. The black PBT housing is rated for -30°C to 105°C operation, covering underhood and outdoor cabinet temperature swings.
Critical Note: Contacts Are Not Included
The 2822363-1 ships as a housing only — contacts are not included. This is the single most common sourcing miss on this part. The housing accepts female socket crimp terminals, ordered separately under the TE EconoSeal J Mark II contact series.
Mating Half and Harness Fit
This plug housing mates with the corresponding EconoSeal J Mark II header or receptacle — the latch holder on the plug engages the mating latch ramp for a vibration-resistant connection. The free-hanging (in-line) mounting means it terminates a cable and plugs into a panel-mount or board-mount counterpart. The 2-position, single-row layout matches a 2-circuit harness; the 5.00 mm pitch is wide enough for 16-20 AWG wire with the correct crimp terminal. For field replacement, the latch holder allows tool-less disengagement — no screws or tools needed to unmate.
