The TE Connectivity 936394-2 is a 6-position, single-row plug housing from the SSC series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board connections. It uses a latch holder fastening system that provides a positive mechanical lock when mated with the corresponding SSC receptacle housing, making it suitable for applications where vibration resistance is needed without a secondary locking mechanism. The housing is molded from glass-filled nylon (PA), giving it dimensional stability and good chemical resistance for industrial environments.
Contacts Not Included — Plan Your Terminal Order
This housing ships empty — the note on the listing is explicit: contacts are not included. You will need to order the matching SSC female crimp terminals separately and install them with the appropriate hand or automatic crimp tool. The crimp termination accepts the wire gauge range specified for the SSC contact family; the housing itself does not restrict wire size beyond what the terminal supports. Ordering the housing without terminals is a common trap — make sure both line items are on the BOM.
Mating Half and Assembly
The 936394-2 mates with the corresponding SSC series receptacle housing of the same 6-position, single-row configuration. The latch holder on the plug engages with the mating latch on the receptacle to create a secure, audible-lock connection. For a complete mated pair, you need: this plug housing, the matching receptacle housing, and the correct female crimp terminals for both sides. The free-hanging (in-line) mount means no panel cutout or PCB footprint is required — the assembly floats in the harness, which simplifies routing in tight enclosures.
