VAG 5N1-973-206 6-Way Female 1.5mm Throttle Body Plug

The Component: Genuine VAG 5N1-973-206 6-way automotive sealed female socket housing plug. 1.5mm Sealed Flat Contact Series 6-position double-row receptacle casing (Black / PBT+G / Sealed / 2x3 Layout / Coding I Configuration / Factory Product Cross-Ref: 5N1973206 / Associated Component Code: 4H0-973-713 Array / Industry-Standard Code: 42151100).

Applications & Fitment: Designed as a high-reliability factory original equipment (OE) harsh-environment connection solution for critical low-voltage powertrain data lines and electronic actuator networks. Extensively specified across the Volkswagen Audi Group platform grid (including Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda, and Cupra models) as the definitive female connection interface for high-duty electronic throttle body assemblies (throttle valve control units) and pedal level sensor arrays.

Engineered to maintain absolute circuit continuity and environmental sealing integrity under severe under-hood thermal cycles, direct exposure to grease, moisture, and intense engine bay harmonic vibrations. Highly vulnerable to primary external mechanical retention latch fracture if forced or carelessly pried with generic flathead screwdrivers during standard intake tract or throttle body servicing, or internal silicone mat distortion if field diagnostic technicians attempt un-profiled rear-probing with standard multi-meter leads.
