Product details

What This Plug Housing Is

It uses a 0.138" (3.50 mm) pitch — wider than typical signal connectors, giving it room for larger-gauge crimp terminals and higher current per circuit.

The housing accepts the standard Multi-Lock crimp contact; the terminal part number depends on your wire size and plating preference (tin vs gold). Always confirm the terminal order code against your wire AWG before committing the BOM line.

Mating and Locking

The latch lock holds the plug to the mating header or receptacle — it's a positive retention feature, not just a friction fit. The single-row layout means the connector is narrow; it fits in tight cable-routing paths where a dual-row would be too wide.

Frequently asked questions

What contacts are compatible with the 368538-1 housing?

The 368538-1 accepts Multi-Lock female socket crimp terminals. The exact terminal part number depends on your wire gauge and plating preference — tin for standard duty, gold for corrosive environments or higher mating cycles. The housing does not include contacts; order them separately.

What is the pitch of the 368538-1 plug housing?

The pitch is 0.138" (3.50 mm), which is wider than typical signal connectors — sized to accommodate larger crimp terminals for power or higher-current circuits.
