Product details

It accepts female socket contacts (ordered separately) that terminate via crimp, and the housing mounts free-hanging in-line. The right-angle cable exit routes the wire bundle perpendicular to the mating axis, which helps in tight enclosures or where the harness needs a 90-degree turn at the connector face.

The 12-position count matches a 12-circuit BOM line — one position per circuit, no spare. The 0.232" (5.90 mm) row spacing is wider than a typical 0.100" signal header, which gives more room for larger-gauge power contacts and reduces the risk of flashover between rows at higher voltages. The right-angle cable exit means the wire bundle exits at 90° to the mating face — useful when the connector is mounted against a panel wall or in a shallow junction box.

The crimp termination is field-serviceable — replace a damaged contact without desoldering.

Because the contacts are not included, factor the mating terminal order code into the BOM line.

Frequently asked questions

Does 284159-1 include contacts?

No — the 284159-1 is a receptacle housing only. The female socket contacts must be ordered separately and crimped onto the wire before insertion into the housing.

What is the mating connector for 284159-1?

The 284159-1 mates with the corresponding Multi-Lock header (male pin side) that uses the same latch holder fastening system. The exact header order code depends on the circuit count and mounting style needed.
