12-Position, 4-Row Plug Housing for Dynamic D-1000
The TE Connectivity 3-2366600-2 is a 12-position, 4-row plug housing from the Dynamic D-1000 series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-board or wire-to-wire applications. The housing uses a latch lock fastening system to keep the mated pair secure under vibration, and the glass-filled thermoplastic insulation handles a wide operating range of -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial control cabinets, and outdoor telecom gear where thermal cycling is a given. This is a tab-type plug housing — it accepts crimp terminals (ordered separately) and mates with the corresponding Dynamic D-1000 receptacle header. The 4-row configuration packs 12 circuits into a compact footprint, and the latch lock provides an audible click on full engagement, which a technician can feel and hear during assembly.
Mating and Contact Selection
The 3-2366600-2 mates with a Dynamic D-1000 receptacle header of matching 12-position, 4-row layout. The tab contacts in this housing pair with socket contacts in the receptacle half. Crimp terminals for this series are available separately — the housing ships without contacts, so the BOM must include the correct tab terminal for the wire gauge in your harness. The latch lock fastening means the connector stays mated without additional hardware, but the lock ramp is on the plug side — verify that the receptacle half has the matching latch window. For field-service or repeated disconnect cycles, the latch is robust enough for routine maintenance access.
Sourcing and Lifecycle
It is ROHS3 compliant, so it meets the latest EU material restrictions for electronic equipment. For volume or scheduled releases, a blanket order with release dates can be arranged.
