208273-4

Automotive-grade 208273-4 by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine 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 12-14 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.
