VAG 4H0973715 10-Way Female Sealed Connector Plug

The Component: Genuine VAG high-performance 10-way sealed female connector housing. 1.5mm Sealed Series / 10-Position (10P) dual-row flat contact terminal layout / Standard Black mechanical profile / Impact-hardened PBT-GF15 automotive grade thermoplastic body / Integrated secondary lock mechanism / High-density engine bay, headlight, and auxiliary sensor matrix interface component / VAG Part Number: 4H0973715 / Original Manufacturer: FEP (FEP Reference: 42121700).

Applications & Fitment: Engineered to strict original equipment (OE) factory specifications for modern Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) vehicles, including Audi, Volkswagen, Seat, and Skoda platforms. This high-density 10-pin female plug is highly utilized across advanced automotive systems, most notably for multi-function LED headlight assemblies, radar/driver-assistance camera systems, electronic steering rack interfaces, and complex engine compartment sensor networks. The physical layout utilizes a space-saving dual-row (2x5) configuration that packs 10 discrete circuits within a rugged, vibration-dampened footprint. Featuring an integrated primary locking arm, it ensures a positive mechanical snap-lock connection onto male device headers or inline dock interfaces, preventing loose connections from engine resonance. Designed for absolute environmental resilience, it relies on an internal mat seal or individual wire grommets to prevent water, oil, and dust ingress under extreme IP67/IP69K operating conditions. Perfect for professional vehicle wiring loom repairs, custom motorsport harness builds, and direct trade workshop replacements.
