172433-2 is a receptacle terminal housing designed for 2-position wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connector applications. The housing features an 8.6 mm (0.338 in) centerline pitch with straight terminal orientation and polarization-based mating alignment to ensure correct connection. Constructed from nylon material with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, it is mounted as a cable-mounted (free-hanging) component and operates reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The positive lock 250 design provides secure contact retention without additional mechanical fasteners. This housing is commonly used in automotive and industrial applications where reliable wire termination and polarized connections are essential.
