Product details

MATE-N-LOK 3-Position Free-Hanging Plug Housing

It uses a friction lock to hold the mating pair together, which gives a positive feel when seated without needing a secondary latch. The 6.10mm pitch provides generous spacing between circuits, making it straightforward to crimp and insert the terminals by hand.

Contacts Are Not Included — Plan the Full BOM

That means when you add 794060-1 to the BOM, you also need to line up the matching crimp socket terminal — typically the TE 794064 series or equivalent MATE-N-LOK pin-and-socket contact. The housing is a shell; the electrical path runs through the terminal you crimp onto the wire. Ordering the housing alone and forgetting the contacts is a common miss that stalls a harness build.

Friction Lock and Free-Hanging Mount

The friction lock on this plug housing engages with the matching header or receptacle to keep the connection secure under vibration. It's not a ramp-style latch — it's a simple interference fit that clicks into place and resists pull-out from cable strain. For a panel-feed application, you'd pair it with a panel-mount header from the same MATE-N-LOK series.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 794060-1 come with contacts?

No — the 794060-1 plug housing ships without contacts. You need to order the matching MATE-N-LOK crimp socket terminals separately. The housing is just the shell; the electrical connection runs through the terminals you crimp onto the wire.

What is the pitch of the 794060-1 housing?

The pitch is 0.240" (6.10mm) centerline to centerline. That's the spacing between adjacent contact cavities, which determines the footprint if you're mating it to a board-mounted header.

What is the 794060-1 used for?

It's a 3-position free-hanging plug housing used in wire-to-wire or wire-to-board harnesses where a friction-lock connection is needed. Typical applications include power and signal interconnects in industrial equipment, automotive underhood harnesses, and appliance wiring where the 6.10mm pitch gives room for hand-crimping and the PA66 housing handles -55°C to 105°C environments.
