1-2154018-4

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 1-2154018-4 sets new benchmarks in Solid State Lighting Connectors performance, specifically developed for automotive electrification systems. This ruggedized solution combines EMI shielding with waterproof construction, addressing the stringent requirements of next-generation vehicle architectures.With its Board to Cable/Wire architecture, the connector supports both power delivery and high-speed data networks in unified packaging. The hybrid design eliminates separate wiring runs, reducing vehicle weight by up to 15% in harness-intensive applications.The Plug interface incorporates IP67-rated sealing when mated, protecting sensitive electronics from fluid ingress. Dual-contact wiping action ensures reliable connectivity despite road-induced vibrations.Scalable from 4 positions, the modular system grows with evolving E/E architectures. Position-specific keying prevents misalignment during harness assembly in low-light service conditions.Engineered for Free Hanging (In-Line) - End, Right installation, the connector withstands G-force loads encountered in collision scenarios. The breakaway design protects wiring integrity during impact events.The IDC method has been validated for 85 C continuous operation in engine compartments. Self-fluxing alloys create reliable joints without additional processing steps.The Latch Lock mechanism provides positive engagement feedback audible over factory ambient noise. The dual-stage locking system prevents partial mating conditions.Natural, Green Stripe pigmentation meets automotive OEM color-coding standards while resisting chemical degradation from underhood fluids. High-visibility tones facilitate assembly line error-proofing.Optimized for 24 AWG automotive-grade cables, the connector handles both 48V mild hybrid and 400V BEV power levels. Integrated ferrules prevent strand breakage during terminal crimping.Copper Alloy formulation resists sulfurization from exhaust gases, maintaining <10m contact resistance throughout the vehicle lifecycle. The alloy's thermal expansion properties match surrounding materials to prevent stress fractures.Tin plating exceeds automotive corrosion test requirements, including 1000+ hours of salt spray exposure. The noble metal surface prevents galvanic corrosion in mixed-metal systems.The Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled compound achieves UL 746C F1 outdoor weathering ratings without UV-protective coatings. Material selection avoids halogenated compounds for environmental compliance.Performance-certified for -20°C ~ 105°C environments, the connector survives thermal shock from winter cold starts to desert heat soaking. All materials maintain mechanical properties at temperature extremes.
