166292-1

Designed for automotive electronics, the 166292-1 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors delivers robust performance in D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Contacts applications. These contacts meet stringent automotive qualification requirements while offering superior electrical and mechanical reliability.Validated for Signal applications in harsh environments, the contacts exceed USCAR-2 vibration specifications. Comparative testing shows 40% longer lifespan than industry average in thermal shock conditions.The Female Socket design incorporates redundant contact points for fail-safe operation. The dual-beam geometry maintains electrical continuity even under 1mm of contact wipe.Manufactured using Stamped processes, these contacts achieve automotive-grade consistency. Statistical process control maintains CpK >1.67 for all critical dimensions.Optimized for 24-28 AWG automotive wiring harnesses, the contacts withstand 50N pull force per LV214. The insulation displacement system eliminates cold solder joint risks.Crimp methods are qualified for automated assembly processes. The crimp variant demonstrates 0.5m maximum resistance after 500 thermal cycles.The Phosphor Bronze formulation resists sulfurization and oxidation in underhood environments. Material properties remain stable across -40 C to +150 C operating range.Gold coating provides extended durability against fretting corrosion. Testing per GMW3191 confirms <5% contact resistance change after 100 cycles of micromotion.With 30.0µin (0.76µm) protection, the contacts maintain performance after 1000 hours of mixed flowing gas testing. The finish composition is compliant with ELV directives.The Tin system ensures reliable connections in high-vibration environments. Testing per ISO 16750-3 demonstrates zero failures at 30G shock loads.The 20 geometry accommodates automotive wire-to-board requirements. Finite element analysis confirms mechanical stability under 150N cable pull force.Incorporating Insulation Support, the design meets IP6K9K dust/water ingress protection. The sealed version withstands 3000+ pressure wash cycles without performance degradation.
