What This 5-Position Nector M Receptacle Housing Does
It carries a 20 A per circuit rating at 400 V, which puts it squarely in the power interconnect range — think distribution inside an industrial cabinet or a machine tool junction box, not signal-level duty. The housing is keyed to prevent mismating, panel-mounted for a fixed installation, and uses crimp termination for field-assembled harnesses.
What Contacts Fit This Housing
This is a receptacle housing for pin contacts — the mating half uses socket contacts. The crimp termination means you select a separate pin contact terminal that matches your wire gauge.
How It Compares to 1-2213614-1
The 1-2213614-1 is a different connector entirely — a board-to-board hermaphroditic blade-and-receptacle with 0.157" pitch, solder termination, and 6 A rating. It's not a functional alternative to the 293688-2 cable-to-cable receptacle housing. If you're sourcing a replacement for the Nector M part, stick with the 293688 base series; the 1-2213614-1 serves a different board-level interconnect role.
