Application Guidance

This housing is designed for automotive wiring systems requiring a reliable, sealable connection for female 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 keyed mating alignment prevents incorrect connection by ensuring proper orientation. The glass-filled PBT material provides mechanical strength and thermal stability across the wide operating temperature range. The 13 A current rating supports moderate power distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Ensure proper terminal insertion into the housing

The primary locking feature on the terminal must engage correctly

Strain relief is not included but can be added by accessory if required

Verify mating alignment using the keyed feature before final connection

The sealable design requires proper mating with a corresponding sealed connector

Operating temperature should not exceed 125 °C or fall below -40 °C

Compliance and Standards

The product parameters align with common automotive electrical connector standards. The -40 °C to 125 °C temperature range covers engine compartment, under-chassis, and other demanding environments. The 1.8 mm contact size is a standard dimension in many automotive connector systems. The 125 V operating voltage rating provides flexibility for various electrical applications beyond standard 12 V systems.
