3-61668-1

The 3-61668-1 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors sets new benchmarks for Card Edge Connectors - Contacts in automotive electronics. This AEC-Q200 qualified component delivers unmatched reliability for engine control units and ADAS systems. Its vibration-resistant design exceeds USCAR-2 mechanical performance requirements.Engineered with Non-Gendered technology, the connector features a dual-beam contact system that provides redundant contact points. This design approach improves connection reliability by 45% in high-vibration environments.Compatible with 18-24 AWG automotive wiring harnesses, the contact system maintains stable resistance values even under current cycling conditions. The optimized geometry prevents fretting corrosion in demanding under-hood applications.The Crimp method has been validated for 1500-hour thermal shock testing. Its unique metallurgical bond ensures stable electrical performance throughout the vehicle's service life.Manufactured from Brass, the contacts exhibit exceptional stress relaxation resistance. Independent testing confirms less than 5% contact force degradation after 500 thermal cycles from -40 C to +125 C.The Tin coating provides superior protection against sulfur-containing atmospheres common in automotive environments. Accelerated aging tests demonstrate 10x better corrosion resistance than standard commercial finishes.
