The housing is green, which is the standard colour for the Micro Timer I family — a visual cue that helps identify the series on the harness board.
Why the 3-Row, 6-Position Layout Matters
Most 6-position housings are arranged in a single or dual row. The 493486-1 uses three rows of two cavities each — a layout that keeps the connector face narrower than a 2x3 arrangement, which can help when routing the harness through a tight grommet or panel cutout. The trade-off is that the mating header or plug must also be a 3-row design, so confirm the mating half's row count before committing to the BOM.
For field-service or high-vibration environments, the latch gives a tactile check that the pair is fully engaged.
