Housing for Female Terminals, Wire-to-Wire, 8 Position 1-1670894-1

Product Description

The 1-1670894-1 AMP Automotive Housing serves as a critical junction in modern vehicle electrical architectures, engineered specifically for demanding wire-to-wire power circuit applications. This 8-position, 2-row rectangular connector provides a highly secure, sealable enclosure designed exclusively for female terminals. When handled, the housing presents a rigid, matte black exterior characteristic of its dense glass-fiber reinforced composition, ensuring it resists deformation under severe mechanical stress. It integrates flawlessly into 12V, 24V, and 48V electrical frameworks, providing the routing flexibility required in tight engine compartments through its support for both 180° and 90° cable exit angles.

Procurement teams and engineering designers will find that this housing offers a comprehensive compatibility ecosystem. It pairs perfectly with standard 2.8mm female receptacles, single-wire moisture seals, protective blind plugs, and corresponding male mating sheaths. This exact fitment guarantees a streamlined, one-stop assembly process on the production floor. By eliminating the friction of sourcing mismatched components, it ensures immediate readiness for system-level integration, delivering a distinct tactile and audible click during assembly that confirms a positive lock.

Product Advantage

Sealable Design for Reliability

The heavy-duty sealing mechanism of the 1-1670894-1 housing establishes an impenetrable barrier against environmental contaminants. Achieving a rigorous IP67 degree of protection, this component completely blocks microscopic dust particles and withstands temporary submersion in water. For assembly line technicians, the primary locking feature located directly on the terminal provides immediate mechanical feedback, ensuring a secure, moisture-proof connection that is indispensable for automotive systems exposed to road spray, mud, and fluctuating weather patterns.

High-Temperature Endurance

Thermal stability is paramount in engine compartments and chassis wiring. Constructed to endure extreme thermal cycling, this housing maintains its structural and electrical integrity across a demanding temperature range from -40°C up to a maximum of 140°C. The dense polymer matrix prevents warping, softening, or embrittlement, ensuring continuous, reliable operation whether the vehicle is operating in freezing arctic conditions or experiencing the intense radiant heat of a heavy-duty engine under maximum load.

Enhanced Safety Standards

Electrical safety directly impacts vehicle reliability and passenger security. This connector strictly adheres to the UL 94V-0 flammability rating, meaning the material will self-extinguish within seconds if exposed to an open flame or electrical arc. By meeting these stringent automotive environmental and safety compliance standards, it actively mitigates the risk of fire propagation in the event of unforeseen short circuits, providing manufacturing partners with a component that inherently elevates the safety profile of their final assembled vehicles.

Optimized Electrical Performance

Designed to handle substantial power loads, the housing supports an operating voltage of 60VDC and a robust contact current rating of up to 40A. The generous 6mm centerline pitch and precise 2.8mm mating tab width ensure optimal contact pressure, preventing cross-talk and minimizing electrical resistance. This efficient power delivery system prevents localized overheating, ensuring stable energy transmission for high-demand automotive electrical systems, from advanced driver-assistance modules to heavy-duty lighting circuits.

Durable Construction

The foundation of this connector's longevity lies in its PBT GF30 (Polybutylene Terephthalate with 30% Glass Fiber) material. This industrial-grade polymer offers exceptional resistance to harsh automotive fluids, including oils, fuels, and aggressive cleaning solvents. The inherent wear resistance of the glass-reinforced matrix means the housing withstands the constant vibrations and mechanical shocks typical of demanding environments, translating to a prolonged service life and reduced maintenance overhead for end-users.
