The Component: Genuine Sumitomo OEM front holder secondary lock / Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) retainer lock clip / Accessory component for HX 090 Sealed Series 2.3mm (090 class) waterproof automotive connector housings / Precision-molded terminal clip engineered to ensure full primary contact insertion and prevent terminal back-out under vibration / Component Part Number: 6918-1260 / Alternate Identifiers: Sumitomo 6918-1260 / 69181260 / HX 090 Front Holder / HX090 TPA Lock / 2.3mm Secondary Lock Clip / Sumitomo Sky Blue Retainer Clip 6918-1260.

Applications & Fitment: Essential secondary locking accessory designed specifically for Sumitomo HX 090 sealed series connector housings across Japanese OEM platforms (including Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, and Subaru). Snaps into the front cavity face of compatible HX 090 female and male housings to lock female socket terminals (e.g., 8100-1427, 8100-1428) and male tab terminals firmly into position. Functions as both a terminal seat verification tool and a secondary strain relief guard—if a terminal is not fully seated in its primary latch, the TPA front holder will not engage, alerting harness technicians instantly to incomplete terminal insertion. Engineered to resist extreme engine bay thermal cycling (-40 to 125 degrees Celsius), operational vibration, automotive fluids, and mechanical stress. Crucial stock for automotive wiring harness builders, repair technicians, and trade distributors assembling factory-spec Japanese OEM wiring looms.
