Sumitomo 6189-0890 2-Way Female Sealed Connector | HX 040

The Component: Genuine Sumitomo OEM 2-position sealed female socket housing / Premium Sumitomo HX 040 series waterproof automotive plug / 2-way single-row inline configuration layout / Integrated light grey front-loading secondary terminal lock retainer / High-integrity internal silicone seal ring and wire seals / Molded from premium, impact-resistant, heat-stabilized PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) / Component Part Number: 6189-0890 / Alternate OEM Identifier: 61890890.

Applications & Fitment: Compact, high-density waterproof electrical connector engineered for low-current signal lines, engine bay sensors, fuel injectors, ABS wheel speed sensors, and lighting sub-harnesses. Widely specified across Japanese vehicle manufacturing platforms—including Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Subaru—where space constraints require a reliable, micro-sized sealed interface. Designed explicitly to accept Sumitomo HX 040 series (1.0mm) female crimp socket contacts. The pre-staged light grey secondary lock (TPA) ensures double-lock terminal retention by refusing to click flush into place unless both 040 terminals are fully seated inside the housing. Engineered to handle continuous thermal cycles and severe engine bay vibration from -40 up to 120 degrees Celsius. An essential stock component for specialist harness builders, motorsport rewiring technicians, and automotive trade distributors.
