**About TE Connectivity:**
TE Connectivity (TE) is a global leader in connectivity and sensor solutions, serving mission-critical industries like aerospace, automotive, and industrial automation for over 75 years. Their AMPMODU series represents decades of innovation in miniaturized connectors, renowned for consistent quality, rigorous testing protocols, and compliance with international standards.

TE’s engineering expertise ensures components like the 87456-1 housing deliver unmatched signal integrity even under thermal stress or mechanical strain. Their vertically integrated manufacturing guarantees traceability and batch-to-batch consistency, making TE the preferred choice for high-reliability applications worldwide.

**About Rectangular Connector Housings:**
Rectangular connector housings form the backbone of secure electrical interfaces across industries. These insulated structures organize and protect crimped or soldered contacts, preventing short circuits while enabling modular system designs. Proper housing selection ensures mating cycle durability, environmental resistance, and EMI mitigation in complex assemblies.

As fundamental building blocks in wire harnesses and board-level interconnects, housings like the AMPMODU Mod IV series simplify maintenance through standardized configurations. Their polarization features prevent misalignment, and material choices (like glass-reinforced nylon) balance weight, cost, and performance – making them indispensable in evolving electronic ecosystems.

**Packaging Options:**
Available in **Bulk Packaging** for high-volume production runs. Contact PCX for reeled or custom kitting solutions.

**FAQs:**
**Q: Are contacts included with this housing?**
A: No, the 87456-1 is a housing only. Compatible female sockets must be sourced separately (e.g., TE part #1-480700-0).

**Q: What wire gauges does this support?**
A: Designed for 22-28 AWG wires when used with TE’s standard crimp contacts.

**Q: Is it RoHS compliant?**
A: Yes, this housing meets RoHS 3 directives.

**Q: Can it mate with male pin headers?**
A: Absolutely. The receptacle interface is engineered for seamless connection to 0.100″ pitch male headers.

**Q: What’s the dielectric strength?**
A: 1000 VAC minimum per UL testing standards.

**Q: How many mating cycles does it withstand?**
A: Rated for 50+ cycles with proper contacts without degradation in performance.
