Kostal 09408611 5-Way Female MLK 1.2mm Sealed Connector

The Component: Genuine Kostal MLK 1.2mm Sealed Series high-performance 5-way female receptacle connector housing. Features an integrated red CPA (Connector Position Assurance) lock and secondary terminal lock / 5-position single-row linear configuration / Coding A2 polarization profile / Matte Black high-grade PA66-GF30 glass-reinforced nylon composite shell / IP67 and IP69K weatherproof rated sub-assembly plug / Component Part Number: 09408611 / Kostal Order Reference: 9408611.

Applications & Fitment: Engineered to withstand extreme mechanical vibration, high thermal deflection, and severe moisture exposure within modern automotive powertrain, chassis, and sensory networks. This genuine 5-pin female connector is an authentic original equipment (OE) component widely specified across major European automotive platforms, notably within the VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group), BMW, and Mercedes-Benz wiring architectures. It is heavily utilized for wire-to-device and inline connections, pinning critical engine bay and transmission components such as mass airflow sensors (MAF), electronic throttle valves, high-pressure fuel sensors, and exterior lighting arrays. Molded from premium PA66-GF30 (30% glass-fiber reinforced Polyamide 66), the housing maintains exceptional structural integrity and resistance against aggressive automotive chemicals up to its maximum 130°C temperature threshold. For absolute link security, it features an integrated Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) secondary retainer combined with a highly visible, red mechanical CPA slide lock. The CPA device eliminates accidental unmating from severing critical data or sensor feeds due to road debris impacts. Its precision-molded internal cavities are designed to accept and insulate standard Kostal MLK 1.2mm series single-wire sealed female terminals, forming an absolute weather-tight barrier against high-pressure water washdowns, salt spray, and dust ingress. An indispensable component for specialized auto-electrical repair facilities, professional motorsport harness builders, and tier-1 wire loom fabricators.
