The 0.240" (6.10mm) pitch and identical row spacing mean the contact pattern is square — a 3x3 grid that mates with the corresponding male pin header using the latch holder for positive retention. Contacts are crimp-terminated, so the wire-to-connector reliability depends on the crimp height and die selection — the series has published applicator tooling for consistent pull-out force.
Last Buy — Plan Your Final Order
The 880125 is on Last Buy status. That means TE Connectivity has stopped regular production and is accepting a final order window before the tooling is retired. If this part is on your BOM, you need to secure your lifetime buy quantity now. Once the LTB window closes, the only channel will be surplus or broker inventory — no guarantee of continuity.
Selecting the Mating Half and Terminals
As a receptacle, the 880125 mates with a Commercial MATE-N-LOK male pin header of the same 9-position, 3-row, 0.240" pitch layout. For the crimp terminals, use the series' standard male pin contacts (sold separately) and a hand or pneumatic applicator tool set to the correct crimp height for your wire gauge. The glass-filled nylon housing withstands repeated assembly cycles without cracking the latch fingers, but the Last Buy status means you should stock spare housings alongside your terminal order.
Sourcing the 880125
Given the Last Buy status, the quote will reflect the remaining factory inventory and the LTB deadline. If you need a datasheet or product drawing to verify the 3-row footprint against your harness layout, request it with the RFQ.
