RH70616Y-1.8-11/174264-2 12 V, 6 Position, Automotive Housing for Male Terminals

Detailed Product Description:

This product is a 6-position automotive housing specifically designed for male terminals. It operates under a nominal voltage architecture of 12 volts. The housing is sealable, providing protection against environmental contaminants such as moisture and dust. Its operating temperature ranges from -30 °C to 105 °C (-22 °F to 221 °F), making it suitable for various automotive applications.

Product Type Features:

The connector features a rectangular shape.The connector and housing type is a housing for male terminals. The sealable feature is confirmed as yes. The primary locking mechanism is integrated both in the housing and on the terminal. The connector system is wire-to-wire. Additionally, the connector and contact terminate to wire and cable.

Electrical Characteristics:

The operating voltage is rated at 12 VDC. The nominal voltage architecture for vehicle applications is 12 volts.

Body Features:

The cable exit angle is fixed at 180 degrees. The primary product color is black.

The contact type is a tab. The contact size is 1.8 mm. The mating tab width is also 1.8 mm (0.071 inches). The maximum contact current rating is 18.5 amperes.

Mechanical Attachment:

Mating alignment is included. The mating alignment type is a polarizing rib. There is no terminal position assurance. Strain relief is not provided. The connector mounting type is cable mount, also known as free-hanging.

Housing Features:

The housing material is PBT. The centerline pitch is 4.8 mm (0.189 inches).

Dimensions:

The connector height is 20.6 mm (0.81 inches). The product length is 23.1 mm (0.91 inches). The product width is 35.5 mm (1.4 inches). The row-to-row spacing is 5.6 mm (0.22 inches).

Usage Conditions:

The operating temperature range is -30 °C to 105 °C (-22 °F to 221 °F). The maximum operating temperature is 105 °C (221 °F).

Application Guidance:

This housing is designed for automotive wiring systems requiring a reliable, sealable connection for male terminals. The 12 V nominal voltage makes it compatible with standard vehicle electrical systems. The 180-degree cable exit allows for straightforward routing in harness assemblies. The polarizing rib mating alignment prevents incorrect connection. The PBT material provides mechanical strength and thermal stability across the specified operating temperature range.

Installation Notes:

Ensure proper terminal insertion into the housing

The primary locking feature on the terminal must engage correctly

No strain relief is included; consider external support for heavy cables

Verify mating alignment using the polarizing rib before final connection

Compliance and Standards:

The product parameters align with common automotive electrical connector standards. The 18.5 A current rating supports moderate to high power distribution applications. The -30 °C to 105 °C temperature range covers many under-hood and passenger compartment environments.
