16-Position Receptacle Housing, 4.14mm Pitch — Contacts Are Ordered Separately
The TE Connectivity 794207-1 is a 16-circuit, dual-row receptacle housing from the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II series. It uses a 0.163" (4.14mm) pitch and a locking ramp fastening system, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board harness applications. The natural polyamide (PA66) insulator accepts either male or female crimp contacts, which are ordered separately — this is a housing only.
What the 4.14mm Pitch and Locking Ramp Mean for Your Harness
The 0.163" (4.14mm) pitch is the same as the row spacing, giving a square grid that simplifies cavity layout in multi-row harnesses. The locking ramp provides a positive audible click when mated with the corresponding plug housing — this matters for applications where vibration could otherwise work a latchless connector loose. The housing accepts both male and female terminals, so one part number can serve as either a receptacle or a plug body depending on which contact you load.
Mating and Termination — What It Connects To
This receptacle housing mates with the corresponding Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II plug housing (same series, same pitch). Termination is crimp-style — you select the terminal based on wire gauge and current requirement, then insert it into the housing cavity until the locking ramp engages. The dual-row, 16-position layout means a 2x8 grid; verify your harness circuit count matches before committing the BOM line.
