166460-3

Automotive-grade 166460-3 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors redefines reliability in Backplane Connectors - Contacts for next-generation vehicle architectures. Meeting AEC-Q200 qualifications, this connector enables secure power distribution and high-speed data transmission in electric vehicle battery management systems and ADAS modules.The Signal implementation incorporates automotive-specific sealing technologies that prevent moisture ingress up to IP6K9K. This makes it suitable for under-hood applications where thermal cycling and chemical exposure are prevalent.With Socket configuration, the contact system achieves vibration resistance to 15G (20-2000Hz) as per LV214 standards. The anti-vibration design prevents micro-arcing even during extreme vehicle maneuvers.Crimp methodology follows USCAR-25 specifications for automotive wire harnesses. The crimp quality monitoring system ensures every termination meets force-displacement curve requirements.Designed for 20-26 AWG automotive cables, the connector accommodates both solid and stranded conductors. The integrated strain relief prevents wire fatigue in high-flex applications like door harnesses.The Gold layer formulation includes nickel barrier plating to prevent substrate migration. This is critical for maintaining signal integrity in 48V mild hybrid systems.The 16.0µin (0.41µm) coating undergoes cross-section analysis to verify uniform deposition. Quality control measures ensure thickness variation remains within 5% of nominal values.
