TE, Flag QC Terminal 62011-2: Reel Orientation?

TE Connectivity offers a dizzying array of interconnect products, including their 62011-2 flag quick-connect terminal. We’ve had some concerns recently concerning the product’s orientation within the reel being ‘wrong’, and whether this means a different, wrong part was shipped out instead?

TE changed the reeling orientation of this product two years ago, in March of 2024. You can find their PCN for this change here: PCN-24-202293.pdf. The product is indeed correct, though you may need new application tooling if you have not updated your equipment since this change was made.
