    It's crazy that TE makes "wire-to-board" connector housings (1473143-1) that they don't also sell mating headers for. In other words, a company that solely manufactures mechanical connector systems expects me to design my own header to mate with their connector housing. OK, seriously?

    Looks like I'll end up cutting off the OEM temp sensor terminals (1123343-1) and replacing them with another connector system. Another thought is to kludge a 0.100" 2p shrouded header to work with their 1473143-1 connector housing.
