24-Circuit Receptacle Housing for the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II Line
The TE Connectivity 794215-1 is the 24-position receptacle housing from the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II series, a free-hanging (in-line) connector family built for wire-to-wire and wire-to-board power and signal interconnects in industrial, appliance, and automotive harness applications. The dual-row layout at a 0.163" (4.14mm) pitch gives a compact but serviceable footprint for 24 circuits, with the same 0.163" (4.14mm) row spacing keeping the overall width manageable for multi-circuit harnesses. The natural polyamide (PA66) housing carries a locking ramp fastening type that provides a positive audible latch when mated with the matching header — a feature that matters in applications where vibration or cable tug could otherwise separate the pair.
Contacts Not Included — Plan the Full Assembly
A critical procurement detail: the 794215-1 ships as a housing only — contacts are not included. The housing accepts either male or female crimp terminals, which must be ordered separately and terminated onto the wire before insertion. The crimp termination style means the assembly requires a compatible crimp tool and the correct terminal part number for the wire gauge being used. For a 24-circuit harness, that is 24 individual terminals plus the housing, and the BOM line should reflect both line items. The free-hanging mounting type allows the housing to float in the harness rather than being board-mounted, which simplifies routing in tight enclosures.
