Sumitomo 8230-4522 TS Series 4.8mm Male Terminal (187 Tab)

Sumitomo 8230-4522 TS Series 4.8mm Male Terminal (187 Tab)

The Component: Genuine TE Connectivity high-performance automotive male crimp tab contact terminal. Econoseal J 070 Mark II Series taxonomy / Clean Body Male Pin Tab / Strip Form Format (Pre-Tin Plated / Premium Brass Alloy / Stamped & Formed Production / F-Crimp Style Wire Attachment / Component Variant Alias: 171631-1 / Global Order Reference: 171631-1 / TE Internal Description: E-J MK-2 070 TAB CONT).

Applications & Fitment: Engineered as a premium, high-reliability original equipment (OE) automotive terminal pin designed explicitly for harsh, environmentally sealed vehicle wiring networks. This 070 series male tab contact is a foundational wiring harness staple across modern Japanese passenger car platforms, motorcycle looms, and industrial engine sensor networks—frequently deployed inside Econoseal J Mark II+ multi-pin plug housings for powertrain management, under-hood sensor clusters, chassis control distribution runs, and exterior lighting systems. It features an advanced 'Clean Body' profile without external locking lances, relying instead on the housing's internal retention mechanisms to prevent terminal back-out while completely eliminating pin tangling during harness assembly. Engineered to deliver absolute conductivity under intense structural road harmonies and multi-axis engine vibration, its pre-tin plating provides exceptional long-term resistance against interface tracking and contact fretting corrosion. Highly sensitive to improper hand-crimping techniques; requires standard micro-automotive F-profile calibrated crimping tools to ensure correct electrical core compression and environmental cavity seal seat alignment.
