The TE Connectivity 87456-8 is a 12-position, dual-row receptacle housing from the AMPMODU Mod IV series. The housing is free-hanging (in-line) and accepts crimp-terminated female socket contacts — it ships empty, so you order the contacts separately. This is a wire-to-board interconnect: the receptacle mates with a through-hole or surface-mount header on the PCB, and the wires are crimped into loose terminals that snap into the housing. Typical applications include internal wiring harnesses in industrial control panels, telecom equipment, and automotive electronics where a reliable, field-serviceable connection is needed. The glass-filled nylon (polyamide) housing is rated for -65°C to 105°C, covering most underhood and cabinet environments.
Contacts Not Included — What You Need to Order
The 87456-8 is a housing only. You must purchase the matching female socket crimp terminals separately.
