Product description
The Component: Genuine VAG OEM 2-position heavy-duty sealed female flat contact receptacle / Premium TE Connectivity 1418588 AMP MCP 2.8 & JPT Series Automotive Inline Plug Assembly / High-capacity 2-way single-row inline matrix layout / Pre-fitted with a high-contrast side-loaded terminal position assurance (TPA) secondary locking retainer slide / Integrated top-mounted mechanical push-down thumb lock lever / Molded from premium, impact-resistant, glass-reinforced Polyamide (PA66-GF30) / Component Part Number: 8P0973722 / TE Cross-Reference: 1-1418588-1 / 1418588.
Applications & Fitment: High-capacity, waterproof, and vibration-proof electrical interface engineered to deliver protected high-current power distribution across Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, and Škoda automotive platforms. This authentic 2-pin 2.8mm VAG female housing block is a key factory standard specified for high-draw engine bay and chassis equipment. Common applications include vehicle horn assemblies, dual-tone warning blasts, windshield washer pump motors, secondary air injection valves, and select heavy-duty emission control solenoids. Designed to endure severe environmental stress, road spray, and continuous engine heat, its heavy-wall nylon body utilizes an internal perimeter silicone gasket to seal out contaminants. The side-mounted secondary lock mechanism provides absolute terminal position assurance (TPA); once the wide 2.8mm crimp socket contacts are seated into the cavity, snapping this lateral clip home mechanically pins the terminals to prevent contact back-out under severe vehicle harmonic vibrations. Crucial stocking inventory for specialized motorsport wiring loom construction, workshop electrical repair, and high-volume trade supply.
