The TE Connectivity 5-2232265-7 is a 5-position plug housing from the Power Triple Lock, Glow Wire series. It is a free-hanging (in-line) connector designed for wire-to-wire or wire-to-board power distribution, accepting female blade socket contacts that are crimped onto the wire. The 6.00 mm pitch provides generous creepage distance for power circuits, and the latch lock secures the mating pair against vibration — a common requirement in appliance, industrial, and automotive harness applications. The housing is molded from gray polyamide (PA6/Nylon 6) and carries a Glow Wire Compliant rating, making it suitable for equipment that must meet IEC 60335-1 glow-wire testing for flame resistance.
The 6.00 mm pitch determines the centerline spacing of the mating header pins and the crimp terminal spacing in the harness. The Glow Wire Compliant feature means the housing material has passed the glow-wire ignition test, a requirement for components used in unattended appliances. The latch lock provides a positive audible click when fully mated, and the single-row 5-position layout keeps the harness narrow.
Don't Order Half a Connection
This housing ships without contacts — the note reads Contacts Not Included. You will need to order the matching female blade socket terminals separately, plus the mating header or receptacle housing. The contact termination is crimp, so a proper crimp tool for the wire gauge is required for a reliable connection.
