The 794116-1: The 0.390" (9.91mm) pitch gives generous spacing between contacts — enough to handle the creepage needed for higher-voltage circuits without forcing an oversized harness footprint. The single-row layout keeps the connector narrow, which helps when routing multiple circuits through a tight bundle or along a panel edge. The polyamide (nylon) housing holds up to the thermal cycling and resists common shop fluids.
Contacts — What You Need to Order Separately
The housing ships without contacts — the listing note is clear on that. You'll need to source the matching MATE-N-LOK crimp terminals separately, choosing either male or female pins depending on whether this plug mates with a header or a receptacle. The housing accepts both contact types, so the same shell can serve as the plug half in a wire-to-wire pair or as the free-hanging side of a wire-to-board connection. Termination is crimp, which means the contacts are attached to the wire before insertion into the housing. The latch lock gives an audible click when the plug fully seats against its mating half — a useful confirmation for harness builders on a production line or for field-service techs replacing a connector in a tight bay.
