RH70616C-2.8-21/936257-2 12 V, 6 Position, Automotive Housing for Female Terminals

Detailed Product Description:

This product is a 6-position automotive housing specifically designed for female 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 -40 °C to 125 °C (-40 °F to 257 °F), making it suitable for harsh automotive environments including engine compartments.

Product Type Features:

The connector features a rectangular shape. It is not a mixed or hybrid connector. The connector and housing type is a housing for female terminals. The sealable feature is confirmed as yes. The primary locking feature is a locking lance. The connector system is wire-to-wire. Additionally, the connector and contact terminate to wire and cable.

Electrical Characteristics:

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.

Contact Features:

The contact type is a receptacle. The contact size is 2.8 mm. The mating tab width is 2.8 mm (0.11 inches). No maximum current rating is specified in the parameter table.

Mechanical Attachment:

Mating alignment is included. The mating alignment type is polarization. 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 Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). The centerline pitch is 5.6 mm (0.22 inches).

Dimensions:

The connector height is 26.6 mm (1.05 inches). The product length is 26.2 mm (1.03 inches). The product width is 33 mm (1.3 inches). The row-to-row spacing is 6.8 mm (0.267 inches).

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 polarization feature prevents incorrect connection by ensuring proper orientation. The PBT material provides mechanical strength and thermal stability across the wide operating temperature range. The locking lance mechanism secures terminals within the housing.

Installation Notes:

Ensure proper terminal insertion into the housing

The locking lance must engage correctly to secure the terminal

No strain relief is included; consider external support for cable management

Verify mating alignment using the polarization feature before final connection

The sealable design requires proper mating with a corresponding sealed connector

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 2.8 mm contact size is a standard dimension in many automotive connector systems.
