1-964449-1 16 Pin Male Assembly Wiring Harness Automotive Connector Car Electrical Wire Socket

The 1-964449-1 is a 16-position, 2-row, black tab housing from the TE Connectivity Junior Power Timer connector series, designed for unsealed wire-to-wire applications. This rectangular plug-style housing accepts male tab contacts and is intended for cable mount (free hanging) installation. The centerline spacing is 5 mm [.197 in] with a row-to-row spacing of 6 mm [.236 in]. The housing is molded from PBT GF30 material, providing good mechanical strength and dimensional stability for demanding automotive environments. The primary locking feature is located on the terminal. This housing supports a nominal voltage architecture of 12 V and is suitable for power and signal circuit applications. The maximum terminal current rating is 30 A, and the terminal size is 2.8 mm with a mating tab width of 2.8 mm [.11 in].

The Junior Power Timer connector system features a two-piece contact design that provides reliable performance in automotive wiring applications. The tab housing is offered as a plug-style housing for socket contacts. Connector coding and keying options are provided with keying code A1 to ensure proper mating alignment. Mating alignment is provided with keyed type. Terminal position assurance is not provided, strain relief is not provided, and the housing does not have connector position assurance. The connector is not serviceable.
The contact system for the 1-964449-1 housing is defined in TE product specification 108-18013 (Junior Power Timer Contact System). For crimping operations, application specification 114-18050 applies. Extraction tools are available for disassembly. The housing is compatible with Junior Power Timer series contacts (tab fit 2.79 mm). Applicable wire sizes and crimping parameters are specified in the contact system documentation.

The operating temperature range for the housing is -40 °C to +80 °C based on the plastic material properties. For the terminal contact system, the derating curves and current carrying capability are defined in the product specification 108-18013. The voltage rating for the system is 28 V DC. Durability (number of mating cycles) for tinned contact surfaces is ≤ 10 cycles, and for silver-plated contact surfaces is ≤ 50 cycles.

The housing is not sealable, meaning it is intended for use in dry interior vehicle environments such as the cabin or other protected areas. The IP rating for unsealed connectors of this type is generally IP30 for the interface, with IP20 for the cable outlet side. The product is not hybrid, does not contain mixed terminal sizes beyond the 2.8 mm system, and is not suitable for soldering processes.

For watertightness and corrosion protection, this unsealed housing does not incorporate sealing elements. When used in combination with the appropriate contacts and cabling, standard automotive wiring practices should be followed to ensure reliable performance. The housing is not halogenfree, but it is low halogen with Br, Cl, F < 900 ppm per homogeneous material, and it is free of BFR, CFR, and PVC.

Environmental and regulatory compliance includes EU RoHS (2011/65/EU) compliant with Delegated Directive 2015/863/EU, EU ELV Directive 2000/53/EC compliant, China RoHS 2 with no restricted substance(s) above threshold, and EU REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 does not contain REACH SVHC (ECHA Candidate List February 2026 (253)). The solder process capability is not suitable for soldering processes.

Packaging characteristics include packaging method carton with a standard packaging quantity of 800 pieces per carton. The product is available in bulk / box packaging. The housing dimensions are as follows: connector height 39 mm [1.53 in], product length 45.8 mm [1.8 in], product width 20 mm [.787 in], and row-to-row spacing 6 mm [.236 in].

The 1-964449-1 housing is used in automotive wiring harnesses for power distribution and signal transmission in vehicles, including commercial vehicles, passenger cars, and offhighway equipment. Typical applications include engine control, lighting, body electronics, and other modules requiring a 12 V architecture. The Junior Power Timer connector system is widely recognized in the automotive industry for its robustness, ease of assembly, and reliable contact performance under vibration and temperature extremes.

The housing features polarization with keying option A1 to prevent mismating. The mating alignment is provided through keyed features on the housing interface. The housing is not designed to support connector position assurance (CPA) and does not include strain relief. Primary locking is achieved via locking lances on the terminal which engage with the housing cavity. There is no secondary locking mechanism or terminal position assurance (TPA). Wire termination is performed using approved crimping tools and processes specified in the TE application documentation.
