Product Overview and Functions
Type: 14-Pin Wire Type Housing (Hole-side female connector housing for crimping female terminals).
Main Functions:
- Provides a highly reliable, waterproof, and sealed connection.
- Used for manufacturing waterproof cable assemblies, paired with AMPSEAL PCB Headers (Vertical/Right Angle).
- Supports multiple keying options (anti-misfit colors/shapes) to prevent incorrect insertion.
- Features Mat Seal (single-wire seal) + Interfacial Seal (interface seal), suitable for harsh environments.
Materials and Structure
- Housing Body: PBT + GF (Polybutylene Terephthalate + Glass Fiber Reinforced), Black (or other keying colors), UL94 V-0 Flame Retardant.
- Seals: Silicone Rubber, Mat Seal, and Interface Seal.
- Terminals (sold separately): Copper Alloy, Tin Plated or Gold Plated.
- Wedge Lock: PBT material, used for secondary locking of terminal positions and improved sealing.
Structural Features:
- Pitch: 4.0mm.
- Arrangement: 3 Rows.
- 180° Cable Outlet.
- IP67 / IP6K9K Waterproof Rating.
Key Electrical and Mechanical Specifications (Typical Values)
- Number of Pins: 14 Pins
- Rated Current: Up to 8A (Tin-plated) ~ 17A (Gold-plated) per pin
- Rated Voltage: Up to 250V
- Wire Diameter Range: 16–20 AWG (approx. 0.5–1.5 mm²)
- Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ +125°C
- Sealing Rating: IP67 / IP6K9K (High-pressure water jet, dustproof)
- Molecular Life: Meets automotive-grade testing standards
Application Scenarios
- Automotive Electronics: ECU (Engine Control Unit), BCM (Body Control Module), Sensors, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), Wiring Harness Connections.
- Commercial Vehicles / Heavy Machinery: Engine compartments, chassis, outdoor equipment.
- Industrial Equipment: Applications requiring high waterproofing, vibration resistance, and high reliability (e.g., outdoor control boxes, agricultural machinery, construction machinery).
- Others: Suitable for harsh environments with high temperatures, high pressure, and strong vibrations, such as engine compartments.
Important Notes
- Requires specialized crimping and unplugging tools. Proper wedge lock installation is crucial for sealing performance.
- Comparison with the 35-pin version: The 14-pin is smaller and suitable for low to medium channel count applications; the 35-pin has more channels and is suitable for complex systems.
