What This 2-Position Plug Housing Is
The TE Connectivity 917686-1 is a 2-position plug housing from the Signal Double Lock series. It's a free-hanging in-line housing with a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch, single-row layout, and a locking ramp for secure mating.
The One Thing That Trips People Up — Contacts Are Separate
This housing ships without contacts. The spec line 'Contacts Not Included' is easy to miss when you're filling a BOM line, but it means you need to order the matching female crimp terminals separately. The housing accepts the standard Signal Double Lock female socket contacts — crimp them onto your wire, insert into the cavity, and the locking ramp holds the pair mated. If you're prototyping or building a short harness, don't forget to add the terminals to your order.
