184046-1 SSC Series 4-Way Male Automotive Connector Plug Kit

Terminals and seals are included

Ensure an uncompromised, weather-sealed electrical interface in high-demand automotive environments with this 184046-1 male plug connector. As a pillar of TE's high-performance Sealed Sensor Connector (SSC) System, this 4-position, single-row housing features a precise "Key A" polarization profile and a high-density 5.00mm centerline pitch. Built to withstand the brutal mechanical vibrations and thermal extremes found within engine bays and under-hood wiring looms, this connector housing is manufactured from a highly resilient, glass-filled Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT-GF) compound. It boasts a UL94 HB flammability rating and an extensive operating temperature range spanning from -40°C up to 125°C.

This versatile 4-pin male plug serves two massive sectors in automotive electrical repair and custom wire harness construction:

1. **JDM Sensor Connectivity:** It is universally recognized as the exact mating plug for the 4-pin Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) circuits on legendary Japanese engines, including the Toyota **1JZ-GTE, 2JZ-GTE, 1UZ-FE, and 3S-GE**, mating perfectly with female housing plug **178399-2** (regularly found on platforms like the Mazda MX-5 Mk1).

2. **Heavy-Duty Relay Switching:** It acts as the dedicated, secure wiring interface for high-current automotive power relays, such as the TE Connectivity **V23130-C2021-A412** 12V 190A switching relays used in electric winches, dual-battery systems, and pre-heating arrays.

To make field maintenance or custom production seamless, this product is supplied by Auto-Click as a **complete, ready-to-crimp kit**. Each package includes the premium black male unshrouded housing, four high-conductivity crimp socket terminals, and four silicone rubber individual wire cavity seals. The connector architecture features integrated Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) to eliminate terminal back-out risks and an internal silicone interface seal that delivers an impenetrable defense against water immersion, dust, and automotive fluids, accompanied by a loud, reassuring audible "click" upon successful secure mating.

### Key Features & Technical Specifications:
