9-Position SL-156 Receptacle Housing for Wire-to-Board Harnesses
It carries a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch that matches the standard SL-156 pin header footprint — the spacing is wide enough to route 18-22 AWG wire without crowding the adjacent cavity. The single-row, 9-position layout is a common count for control-signal and low-power distribution harnesses in industrial equipment, appliance controls, and automotive interior subsystems.
Polarizing Key and Locking Ramp — Field-Mating Details
A polarizing key on the housing body ensures the receptacle can only be inserted one way onto the mating header — this prevents cross-wiring during field replacement or harness assembly, where the connector is often mated by feel under a panel.
Crimp Termination — Contacts Ordered Separately
This is a common sourcing trap: the housing arrives and the build stops because the contacts are on a different PO.
