2178300-1

Designed for automotive electronics, the 2178300-1 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors redefines reliability in Terminals - Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors. These vibration-resistant terminals feature advanced contact physics that prevent micro-arcing in high-current applications. The proprietary alloy composition and plating technologies ensure stable performance across automotive temperature ranges.The Standard configurations meet stringent automotive packaging requirements. Flag terminals enable secure wire-to-board connections in ECU applications.Available in Female options, these connectors support complex harness architectures. The male variants feature reinforced bases for connector position assurance (CPA) applications.Manufactured to 0.250" (6.35mm) tolerances, the tabs maintain consistent contact pressure. The chamfered edges prevent damage to mating connector seals.The 0.032" (0.81mm) material specification ensures mechanical durability. The cold-worked temper provides optimal spring characteristics for automotive vibration environments.The 0.276" (7.01mm) specification ensures proper engagement with sealed connectors. This dimension is critical for maintaining waterproof integrity in automotive applications.With 0.748" (19.00mm) dimensions, these terminals facilitate service-friendly designs. The optimized length prevents stress concentration at termination points.Crimp methods address automotive production requirements. The press-fit versions enable solder-free assembly for aluminum wire applications.Compatible with 14-18 AWG automotive cables, these terminals meet SAE wire size standards. The flared entry guides prevent strand damage during termination.The Non-Insulated options provide necessary dielectric protection. Heat shrink variants meet IP67 requirements for underhood applications.Free Hanging (In-Line) installations accommodate various vehicle locations. The stud mount versions provide secure grounding points for high-current circuits.Incorporating Low Insertion Force (LIF), these terminals exceed automotive specifications. The serrated interfaces prevent wire creep under thermal cycling conditions.Using Steel, the contacts achieve automotive-grade performance. The nickel silver alloys provide excellent corrosion resistance in road salt environments.Nickel coatings are specifically formulated for automotive use. The tin-lead finishes offer superior fretting corrosion resistance.
