Q1: Which terminals are recommended for use with the 174984-2 housing?

A: This housing is designed for 1.8mm (.071 in) tab terminals. We recommend using the matching TE Multilock series male terminals to ensure optimal 18.5A current performance and secure retention within the housing.

Q2: Is the 174984-2 a waterproof/sealed connector?

A: No, the 174984-2 is an unsealed (non-waterproof) connector. It is best suited for interior vehicle applications or protected areas like the cabin, dashboard, or within sealed enclosures where direct exposure to moisture is not expected.

Q3: Can this connector handle 24V systems?

A: While the nominal voltage listed is 12V, its PBT insulation and dielectric strength are capable of handling typical low-voltage DC applications up to 24V or 48V, provided the current does not exceed the 18.5A limit per contact
