The TE 5-1971772-2 is a 2-position single-row receptacle housing from the Power Triple Lock, High Temp series, designed for inline power interconnects where a reliable, high-temperature connection is needed. The 6.00 mm pitch gives enough space for 6 mm tab contacts commonly used in power distribution circuits, and the panel-mount snap-in feature holds the housing securely in a panel cutout without hardware. Rated for -55°C to 150°C operation, this housing suits underhood automotive, industrial cabinet, and appliance environments where standard connectors soften or crack.
What contacts does 5-1971772-2 require?
It accepts crimp tab terminals (the Power Triple Lock series uses standard 6 mm tab contacts), so the BOM line must include the mating crimp contacts separately.
Is 5-1971772-2 compatible with Power Triple Lock plugs?
The 2-position single-row layout means the plug must also be a 2-position single-row to maintain the circuit count. No keying or polarization variants are listed for this series, so orientation is fixed by the housing shape.
