Series Taxonomy: TE Connectivity Econoseal III .187 Sealed Series. A legacy, ultra-rugged automotive interconnect system engineered specifically to deliver waterproof and dustproof low-voltage power circuit routing across extreme powertrain environments.
Terminal Interface: 2-pin single-row inline cavity layout featuring a wide 7.9mm centerline pitch spacing, configured explicitly to house heavy-duty 4.8mm (.187 size) male flat blade tab terminals.
Locking and Sealing Security: Environmentally sealable to preserve circuit defense across a continuous operational temperature threshold certified from -30 to +105 degrees Celsius. Features an integrated internal silicone perimeter compression gasket and rear-entry individual wire seal compatibility. Internal terminal seating relies on the primary structural locking arm directly on the contact terminal profile to prevent pin back-out under vibration.
Mating Complement: Connects wire-to-wire by mating directly onto the corresponding 2-way female plug socket housing under TE Connectivity / AMP part number 6-176146-6 (Light Gray variant).
Common Applications: Extensively specified across global automotive, motorcycle, marine, and performance power sports electrical networks. Most prominently deployed inside high-current powertrain runs, alternator charging loops, electric radiator fan motor lines, and auxiliary power distribution grids. Highly susceptible to exterior latch fracture, polarization slot wear, or lock degradation if subjected to brittle engine bay heat cycles over extended periods.
TE Connectivity 6-176143-6 Econoseal III .187 Series 2-Way Sealed Male Tab Cap Housing
Restore flawless power delivery, eliminate charging system voltage drops, and reinstate premium environmental protection inside your vehicle's harness with the genuine TE Connectivity 6-176143-6 2-way male sealed cap connector housing. Precision-manufactured to strict Tier-1 original equipment automotive engineering guidelines by TE AMP, this heavy-duty 2-pin inline cap block is an industry staple for executing professional wire-to-wire electrical modifications. The single-row, 2-position cavity channel is optimized explicitly around the robust Econoseal 4.8mm (.187) footprint, managing high continuous current loops up to 25A safely without risking resistance spikes or localized thermal fatigue.
The 6-176143-6 carrier block is injection-molded from premium, structurally stable Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) finished in a factory light gray tone, guaranteeing exceptional impact resistance, high dimensional accuracy, and absolute resistance to automotive fluids. Working in unison with an internal compression matrix seal, it locks out road moisture, engine oil vapor, grime, and debris. Precision-molded polarization features ensure flawless mating alignment with its companion 6-176146-6 female socket plug, preventing cross-pin configuration errors in the workshop. This authentic replacement component allows auto-electrical trade specialists, diagnostic engineers, and performance tuning teams to deliver zero-resistance, professional factory pigtail restorations.
