The TE Connectivity 9-1740154-6 is a 6-position DuoPlug receptacle with a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch, designed for discrete wire IDC termination to 22-24 AWG. The single-row, right-angle, free-hanging body carries tin-plated female blade sockets and integrates a board lock for positive retention to the PCB. The blue housing distinguishes it visually in a harness — useful when multiple DuoPlug connectors share a panel or cable bundle.
IDC termination means the wire insulation is displaced by the contact tines as the cap is pressed home — no stripping, no crimp tool, just a press. The 22-24 AWG range covers common signal and low-power wiring in control cabinets and appliance harnesses.
Board Lock for PCB Retention
Without it, the IDC termination forces alone would rely on the solder joints for mechanical retention — the lock takes that load.
