3-173974-1

The 3-173974-1 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors sets new standards in the Terminals - Housings, Boots segment, offering unparalleled performance for next-generation electrical systems. This solution is particularly effective in applications requiring robust EMI shielding and high-speed data transmission capabilities.Featuring a Housing construction, this product incorporates advanced polymer blends that resist chemical degradation. The seamless molding process eliminates potential weak points found in traditional multi-part housings.Designed for Quick Connect, Disconnect applications, the contacts feature a dual-beam design that maintains constant normal force throughout the mating cycle. This innovative approach reduces contact wear by 30% while improving current carrying capacity.The Female, Receptacle interface configuration incorporates redundant contact points for fail-safe operation. Precision-stamped components ensure dimensional consistency across high-volume production runs.Manufactured to 0.187" (4.75mm) tolerances, these terminals demonstrate exceptional resistance to mechanical stress. The specialized plating sequence provides excellent corrosion resistance in saline environments.With 1 available positions, this design optimizes PCB real estate utilization. The staggered contact arrangement minimizes parallel capacitance for improved high-frequency performance.Validated for use with 0.187" (4.75mm) Quick Connects, this solution maintains stable contact resistance during thermal cycling. The material selection prevents cold flow under continuous mechanical load.The Free Hanging (In-Line) design incorporates tool-less installation features that reduce assembly time. Integrated strain relief prevents conductor fatigue at the termination point.Natural pigmentation provides both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits, with laser-markable surfaces for permanent identification. The non-migrating dyes prevent color transfer during handling.
