Automotive Connector Housing 174259-2 174257-2 Econoseal J Series 4 Position Wire-to-Wire

The pairs designed for compact wire-to-wire connections, the 174259-2 and 174257-2 connector housings form a 4-position connector pair for automotive wiring systems. The housings use a 4.8 mm centerline and a 2-row layout, helping keep several wire connections in a small space. The 174259-2 is a cap housing for male terminals, while the 174257-2 is a plug housing for female terminals. Both parts use black PBT housing material and support a 180° cable exit, giving the assembled connector a clean and practical layout.

The Econoseal J Mark II design also uses a clear mating direction and keyed structure to help reduce wrong connection during assembly. Their free-hanging wire-to-wire design makes them suitable for cable assemblies where the connector needs to stay flexible. As an alternative connector solution for the 174259-2 and 174257-2 references, these parts can be considered for automotive wiring, equipment wiring, and other compact electrical connection projects.

• Compact 4-Position Layout
  The 4-position design uses a 2-row layout with a 4.8 mm centerline. It keeps several wire connections in a compact housing.

• Matched Housing Design
  The 174259-2 is designed for male terminals, while the 174257-2 is made for female terminals. The two housing types are designed for wire-to-wire connection.

• Clear Mating Direction
  Polarizing features help guide the mating position. The 174259-2 uses a polarizing rib, while the 174257-2 uses a polarizing slot.

• Straight Cable Exit
  A 180° cable exit keeps the wires in a straight direction from the housing. This gives the assembled connector a neat cable layout.

• Small Contact Size
  The design supports 1.8 mm contacts and a 1.8 mm mating tab width, helping keep the connector size practical for multi-wire connections.

• Automotive Wiring Systems
  Suitable for wire connections inside vehicle wiring systems, where several power or signal wires need to be joined in a compact space.

• Vehicle Electrical Equipment
  Can be used around electrical equipment in cars and other road vehicles for organized wire connections.

• Electrical Equipment Wiring
  Beyond vehicles, some electrical equipment and control systems may also require compact wire-to-wire housing for internal wiring.

• Commercial Vehicle Wiring
  Can be used in wiring systems for trucks, vans, buses, and other commercial vehicles.

• Vehicle Lighting
  Headlights, rear lights, and other vehicle lighting systems provide common areas for this type of wire connection.
