It uses a push-pull fastening system and accepts tab-type contacts terminated by crimp.
Pitch and Row Spacing — What Fits the Board or Header
That 5.00mm pitch is the standard for the MCP 2.8 contact family, so the header side needs to match that spacing. The 0.217" row spacing means the three rows are staggered closer than the contact pitch — something to watch when laying out the mating header footprint or checking clearance against adjacent connectors.
Termination and Mating — Crimp Contacts, No Solder
It accepts TE MCP 2.8 tab-type crimp contacts. The free-hanging mount means it's designed for in-line splicing or mating to a panel-mount header, not for PCB mounting. The push-pull latch is the primary retention; no secondary lock is listed, so make sure the crimp terminals are fully seated and the housing is fully mated to avoid pull-out under vibration.
