TE Sensor Flat Connector, Custom Wire Harness Assembly

TE Sensor Flat Connector

 

TE Sensor Flat Connectors​​ are high-reliability solutions for harsh environments like engine sensors. Designed to prevent fretting corrosion caused by vibrations, they feature a stainless steel spring for stable connections. Built with CuNiSi contacts (tin/silver/gold-plated), they endure -40°C to +150°C. Compliant with ISO 16750-3 vibration standards and IP67/IP6K9K sealing (with backshells), they resist dust, water, and pressure. Available in 2-, 3-, and 4-position configurations with CPA and secondary locks for secure mating, they support 0.35–2.5 mm² wires and up to 25A. Ideal for automotive (trucks, buses) and industrial applications, they enable retrofitting via mold kits for corrosion resistance. Compact, durable, and easy to install, they ensure dependable performance in extreme conditions.

Features

 

  • ​​Anti-Fretting Corrosion Design​​
    • ​​Integrated Spring Mechanism​​
      • Compensates for micro-motions (vibrations, thermal expansion) in all three axes, preventing fretting corrosion and ensuring stable electrical contact even at low currents.
    • ​​Material Composition​​:
      • ​​Contacts​​: CuNiSi (copper-nickel-silicon alloy) for high conductivity and mechanical strength.
      • ​​Tabs​​: CuSn4/CuFe2 (tin-bronze or iron-bronze) for durability.
      • ​​Spring​​: Stainless steel for long-term elasticity and corrosion resistance.
  • ​​High Vibration Resistance​​
    • Compliant with ​​ISO 16750-3 Test I​​ for vibration resistance, making them ideal for automotive and heavy-duty applications (e.g., trucks, agricultural/construction vehicles).
  • ​​Environmental Robustness​​
    • ​​Temperature Ranges​​:
      • Tin-plated: -40°C to +130°C
      • Silver-plated: -40°C to +140°C
      • Gold-plated: -40°C to +150°C
    • ​​Sealing Ratings​​: IP67 and IP6K9K (with backshell) for protection against dust, water, and high-pressure washdowns.
  • ​​Enhanced Reliability Features​​
    • ​​Connector Position Assurance (CPA)​​
      • Integrated CPA ensures proper mating and prevents accidental disconnection.
    • ​​Secondary Locking Mechanisms​​
      • Secures terminals within the housing, achieving high extraction forces.
    • ​​Radial Seal Design​​
      • Improved sealing for smoother mating and reduced insertion force.
  • ​​Versatile Configurations​​
    • ​​Terminal Options​​: Tin-, silver-, or gold-plated contacts for varying current loads and mating cycles:
      • Tin: Up to 10 cycles
      • Silver: Up to 50 cycles
      • Gold: Up to 100 cycles
    • ​​Wire Compatibility​​: Supports single wires (FLR) with insulation diameters from 1.2 mm to 3.0 mm, covering wire sizes 0.35–2.5 mm².
  • ​​Ease of Installation​​
    • Compatible with hand tools, semi-automatic, or fully automatic crimping systems.
    • Single-wire sealing systems (e.g., P/N 828904-1, 828905-1) simplify waterproofing.

 

 

Applications​​

 

  • ​​Engine Sensors​​: Crank/Cam position sensors, oil/pressure sensors, knock sensors.
  • ​​Industrial Equipment​​: Vibration-prone environments requiring dependable signal/power transmission.
  • ​​Commercial Vehicles​​: Trucks, buses, agricultural machinery.
