7041B-2.8-11/ 929505-1/24V / Automotive Housing for Female Terminals

This product, a high-performance automotive connector under TE’s extensive product lineup, is identified by the TE internal number 929505-1, officially designated as FF FLSTE-GEH2X2P, and bears the alias ID 356738-000 AMPS-0-0929505-1. As a specialized 4-position male terminal sheath connector, it is engineered to meet the stringent requirements of automotive wire-to-wire connections, delivering reliable power and signal transmission in a wide range of automotive applications. Crafted with TE’s (Tyco Electronics) industry-leading expertise in connectivity solutions, this connector combines robust construction, precise engineering, and optimal performance, making it an essential component for automotive wire harnesses, power systems, and timer connector systems.

The connector features a nominal voltage architecture of 24 volts (V), which is specifically optimized for medium-voltage automotive electrical systems. This 24V rating ensures compatibility with a variety of automotive components that rely on stable medium-voltage power, including power distribution systems, timer modules, auxiliary lighting, and other critical electrical units. Unlike low-voltage connectors, this 24V design is built to handle higher power loads while maintaining consistent electrical performance, minimizing voltage drop and ensuring efficient power transfer between connected components. Its focus on 24V applications makes it a specialized solution for modern vehicles, where medium-voltage systems are increasingly used to support advanced electrical features.

Designed as a male terminal sheath, this connector is engineered to mate seamlessly with compatible female connectors, forming a secure and reliable electrical connection. The male terminal sheath design features precision-machined terminals that ensure tight contact with female counterparts, reducing contact resistance and preventing signal loss or power interruption. The sheath itself provides a protective barrier for the internal terminals, shielding them from minor mechanical damage during installation and operation, while also facilitating easy alignment during mating. This male configuration is ideal for applications where the connector needs to be the active mating component, such as in wire-to-wire connections within automotive wire harnesses.

Equipped with 4 bits (positions), this connector is configured to support four separate electrical circuits, enabling the simultaneous transmission of power and signals across multiple channels. The 4-pin design is carefully calibrated to accommodate the demands of automotive applications, where multiple functions often need to be powered or controlled through a single connector. Whether used to transmit power to timer systems, signal data between automotive components, or a combination of both, the 4-position layout provides the versatility needed to support diverse electrical requirements. Additionally, the connector features a 5 mm (.196 in) centerline, ensuring precise alignment between terminals and compatible connectors, which simplifies installation and minimizes the risk of misalignment that could lead to poor electrical performance.

One of the standout features of this connector is its extensive operating temperature range of -40 °C to 130 °C (-40 °F to 266 °F), which exceeds the thermal demands of most automotive environments. This wide temperature tolerance ensures that the connector maintains its structural integrity and electrical performance even in extreme conditions, from frigid winter temperatures to the high heat generated under the vehicle’s hood. Whether exposed to the cold of northern climates or the heat of engine bays, the connector remains reliable, preventing interruptions to critical automotive systems such as power distribution and timer functions.

Constructed from high-quality plastic material, the connector’s housing offers superior mechanical strength, impact resistance, and chemical resistance. The plastic housing is engineered to withstand the rigors of automotive operation, including vibration, minor impacts, and exposure to automotive fluids such as oil and coolant. Its black color provides a sleek, professional appearance that blends seamlessly with standard automotive wire harnesses, while also offering moderate UV resistance to prevent discoloration and degradation when exposed to sunlight through vehicle windows.

In automotive applications, this connector is widely used in wire harnesses for power distribution systems, timer modules, auxiliary lighting, and other electrical components that require 24V power. Its 4-position design allows it to handle multiple functions, such as powering a timer while transmitting control signals, making it a versatile solution for modern vehicles. Additionally, its compatibility with Tyco Electronics’ (TE) extensive lineup of automotive connectors ensures easy integration with existing systems, reducing design and installation time for manufacturers.

Designed with ease of use in mind, this connector features an ergonomic design that allows for quick and easy mating and unmating, reducing installation time and labor costs. The precise fit of the male terminals with female connectors ensures a secure lock, preventing accidental disconnection due to vehicle vibration or mechanical stress. The standardized design and clear labeling also simplify inventory management and replacement, making it easy for maintenance teams to identify and replace components when needed.

In summary, the TE (Tyco) 4 Pin Male Automotive Connector (Internal Number: 929505-1; Alias ID: 356738-000 AMPS-0-0929505-1) is a specialized, high-performance component designed for 24V automotive wire-to-wire connections. With its 4 positions, male terminal sheath design, 5 mm centerline, -40 to 130 °C operating temperature range, and durable plastic housing, it is well-suited for automotive power systems, timer connector systems, and wire harnesses. Its reliable performance, versatility, and ease of use make it a trusted choice for automotive manufacturers and engineers seeking a high-quality connectivity solution for modern vehicles.
