The 1-1670918-1 connector housing meets both IPX4K and IPX9K industry ingress standards when fully assembled with the correct wire seals and mating components. The IPX9K rating certifies that the internal contact terminal junctions are thoroughly protected against close-range, high-pressure, and high-temperature water jet spray-downs.

The integrated purple component functions as a position confirmation clip. Once the 4-pin female receptacle housing is fully mated with its corresponding male plug, this slider mechanism can be pushed into place to provide positive locking assurance, ensuring the wire-to-wire connector system does not back out under severe vibration.

This housing is engineered exclusively for TE Connectivity MCON 1.2 series female receptacle crimp terminals with a 1.2mm tab width. Because this is a high-performance sealed automotive housing, engineers must install individual wire cavity seals (single wire seals) onto each cable before crimping to achieve the full IPX9K waterproof rating.

A: No, this part number refers to the Receptacle Housing only. The female socket contacts (terminals) must be ordered separately based on your specific wire gauge requirements. Please contact Suzhou Suqin Electronic for the matching terminal part numbers.

A: The Sealed design (using internal rubber grommets) provides protection against moisture, dust, and contaminants. This makes the 1-1670918-1 ideal for “wet” areas of a vehicle, such as near the engine or chassis, ensuring consistent signal performance in rainy or dusty conditions.

A: The 1-1670918-1 is primarily designed for Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting, commonly used for wire-to-wire sensor connections. For panel-mount alternatives within the MCON series, please browse our related product categories or consult our technical team.
