1-967616-1 MQS 6 Way

Terminals and seals are included

The Component: Genuine TE Connectivity / AMP 1-967616-1. 6-Way female automotive connector receptacle plug housing (Black).

Series Taxonomy: TE Connectivity Micro Quadlok System (MQS) Series. A premium-grade, ultra-compact dual-row interconnect ecosystem engineered specifically to meet stringent automotive parameters for high-density signal pathways, instrument routing, and low-voltage electronic sensor interfaces.

Terminal Interface: 6-pin dual-row cavity matrix configuration (3 pins per row) designed explicitly to house compact, high-performance TE MQS series female receptacle crimp socket contacts on a tight 4.00mm centerline pitch raster.

Locking and Sealing Security: Environmentally sealed to an IPX9K rating, engineered to easily withstand high-pressure steam jet washdowns across an active operating temperature envelope certified from -40 to +120 degrees Celsius. Internal terminal seating is secured by primary locking lances within the housing frame, designed to be backed by a matching 6-way structural clip retainer (such as part number 953381-1) to guarantee absolute Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) against intense mechanical pull. Mating retention relies on a top integrated heavy-duty mechanical thumb-latch click lock.

Mating Complement: Connects wire-to-wire or wire-to-device by mating directly onto its corresponding 6-way male counterpart plug or shrouded pin headers under TE Connectivity MQS series parameters (such as male coupling reference 1-967587-3).

Common Applications: Extensively specified across premier European and global vehicle platforms, most notably within BMW, Mercedes-Benz, VAG, and Porsche factory electrical architectures. Most frequently deployed as the primary, high-integrity factory wire harness repair pigtail for critical under-hood sensor modules, variable valve timing (VVT) controls, clean-air intake controllers, oil pressure monitors, and steering column telemetry layouts. Highly vulnerable to top mechanical latch snapping, terminal throat bending, or lock arm degradation if manipulated using improper panel tools during routine service diagnostics.

TE Connectivity 1-967616-1 Micro Quadlok System (MQS) 6-Way Sealed Female Receptacle Housing

Re-establish absolute circuit communication, eliminate persistent intermittent sensor faults, and reinstate factory-correct weatherproof protection within your vehicle's signal loom with the genuine TE Connectivity 1-967616-1 MQS series 6-way female sealed connector plug housing. Precision-manufactured to strict Tier-1 original equipment automotive engineering parameters by TE AMP, this 6-pin dual-row contact carrier block is an essential industry component for executing professional automotive harness overhauls. Featuring a high-density, compact architecture built explicitly to host the 0.63mm wide flat tab mating interface of MQS contacts, it delivers a highly stable electrical transition channel that manages low-voltage signal grids safely up to 7.5A without risking localized resistance spikes.

The 1-967616-1 carrier housing is injection-molded from a premium, glass-reinforced Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT-GF) compound finished in a factory black profile, guaranteeing excellent structural rigidity, high dimensional tracking accuracy, and complete immunity to chemical degradation from engine oils, fuel vapors, and road salt spray. Working in absolute uniformity with an internal silicone compression matrix seal and individual wire seals, it completely locks out road moisture, ambient grime, and abrasive debris from invading the internal contact lanes. The robust top-mounted thumb mechanical latch ensures positive retention, locking securely to the matching male tab block to combat long-term structural vibration fields. This authentic replacement component allows auto-electrical trade specialists, diagnostic engineers, and specialist wiring builders to deliver zero-resistance, professional factory restorations.
