What This Housing Does in the Harness
The TE Connectivity 8-928247-2 is a 2-position receptacle housing from the Standard Timer series, designed as the female half of a wire-to-wire or wire-to-device interconnect. It accepts crimp socket contacts (sold separately) and uses a latch lock for positive retention when mated with the matching plug header. Typical use is in automotive, appliance, and industrial control harnesses where a reliable, field-serviceable connection is needed.
Material and Environment Range
The housing is molded from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6, a material that handles the -40°C to 110°C operating range common to under-hood and industrial cabinet environments. The gray colour is standard for the series and aids visual identification in a multi-connector harness. The latch lock fastening type provides a tactile click on mate, confirming full engagement without a secondary locking ramp — adequate for moderate-vibration installations where the harness is not subject to continuous flexing.
