The TE 5-2232266-6 is a 12-position, 2-row plug housing from the Power Triple Lock, Glow Wire series. It accepts female blade socket contacts (sold separately) and terminates via crimp, with the housing designed for free-hanging in-line mounting.
As a plug housing, the 5-2232266-6 mates with a matching Power Triple Lock receptacle housing that accepts male tab contacts.
The Glow Wire Compliant marking means the polyamide housing material has been tested to the glow-wire ignition test (GWT) at 650°C or higher per IEC 60335-1, depending on the appliance standard. This is not a generic flammability rating like UL 94 V-0 — it specifically addresses the connector's ability to resist ignition from a hot wire fault condition inside an appliance. For a harness builder or panel assembler, this compliance is often a non-negotiable spec for white goods, HVAC, or commercial cooking equipment. The PA6 housing carries the glow wire rating without requiring a halogenated flame retardant additive that could degrade mechanical properties over temperature cycles.
The closest same-series peer is the 1-1644055-3, a 6-position plug housing at 6.35 mm pitch versus the 5-2232266-6's 12 positions at 6.00 mm pitch. Both are Glow Wire Compliant with the same latch holder fastening and crimp termination. The 6.00 mm vs 6.35 mm pitch difference means the two housings are not footprint-interchangeable — the cavity spacing on the 5-2232266-6 is tighter, so the mating receptacle and terminal selection must follow the 6.00 mm pitch family.
The housing ships in bulk packaging.
