Automotive Connectors 2P FEM BLK CONN ASSY GT 280 SEREIS 25AMP 15326677

Product Description

The Automotive Connectors 2P FEM BLK CONN ASSY GT 280 SEREIS 25AMP (Part Number 15326677) by Aptiv represents a meticulously engineered solution for demanding vehicle electrical architectures. Precision-molded from specialized industrial-grade nylon, the connector housing presents a matte black finish that resists chemical degradation while offering a firm, tactile grip during manual assembly. When mating the components, technicians experience a distinct, audible engagement click, confirming that the internal cavity locks and terminal position assurance (TPA) mechanisms are fully seated. This compact 2-way receptacle is designed to perform reliably within tightly packaged spaces, making it an ideal choice for critical lighting systems, including headlamps, daytime running lights, and dual-filament bulb applications.

Engineered for Environmental Resilience

Operating effectively across a severe thermal gradient from -40°C to +125°C, this GT 280 series connector maintains its structural integrity and electrical continuity in extreme engine compartment conditions. The housing incorporates an advanced seal retention structure. This specific design mitigates the risk of weather seals dislodging or deforming when subjected to the continuous, multi-axis vibration typical of heavy-duty transit. By adhering to the stringent SAE J2030 heavy-duty electrical connector standards, the assembly achieves an IP67/IP69K equivalent sealing capability when properly populated, effectively blocking moisture, road dust, and corrosive fluids from compromising the tin-plated contact interfaces.

Assembly Ergonomics and System Compatibility

Efficiency on the assembly line is heavily influenced by component ergonomics. This connector features a remarkably low engagement force requirement, which significantly reduces operator hand fatigue during high-volume production shifts without sacrificing terminal retention strength. The receptacle is engineered for direct integration with existing ISO and SAE standard blade configurations. To facilitate a complete and secure connection system, it accommodates a range of complementary components, allowing procurement teams to source the specific female terminals, tailored cable seals, and secondary lock pieces required for their exact wire harness specifications.

Key Structural Advantages

• Vibration Resistance: Built-in cavity locks prevent terminal back-out even under constant mechanical stress.
• Fluid Tolerance: The specialized nylon construction repels common automotive hydrocarbons, including brake fluid, engine oil, and coolant.
• Gas-Tight Connections: The crimp termination style ensures a secure, oxidation-resistant bond between the wire and the contact interface.
