Sumitomo 8230-4532 TS Series 4.8mm Male Terminal (187 Tab)

Sumitomo 8230-4532 TS Series 4.8mm Male Terminal (187 Tab)

The Component: Genuine Sumitomo high-performance automotive crimp male tab contact. TS Unsealed Series taxonomy / Male flat blade tab contact component / Large Wire Section Profile (High-Conductivity Brass Alloy / Premium Pre-Tin Plated Surface Finish / Heavy-Duty 0.8mm Blade Thickness / Enlarged Open-Barrel Wire Crimp and Insulation Grips / Main Cabin Junction Block, Distribution Panel, and Passenger Compartment Inline Extension Crimp Contact / Component Variant Alias: 8230-4532 / Global Order Reference: 82304532).

Applications & Fitment: Engineered as a premium, high-current original equipment (OE) specification open-barrel male flat blade tab contact designed explicitly for larger gauge wire runs within protected passenger cabin wiring loops, primary power distribution links, and internal body-side junctions. This TS series male pin contact is the heavy wire variant complementary to the standard 8230-4522 contact, serving as an absolute bench crimping, field wire repair, and custom wiring harness reconstruction staple across prominent Japanese passenger and commercial transport platforms—most extensively integrated within factory Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, and Honda cockpit networks. It is standardly deployed across clean, dry interior environments, serving as the essential mating male interface seated securely inside TS unsealed multi-pin male inline housing blocks (including standard reference shell 6098-2211).

It features a robust, precision-ground 4.8mm (.187 inch) wide by 0.8mm thick male tab blade layout, establishing a high-surface-area, low-resistance electrical pathway capable of carrying heavy auxiliary loads without heat generation. Engineered to conform to rigid tier-1 automotive manufacturing guidelines, its enlarged open-barrel rear architecture features wider, high-precision conductor crimp wings to ensure gas-tight termination on heavy gauge cables, alongside independent rear insulation grip wings designed to anchor securely around thick-wall automotive low-voltage cable jackets. Highly critical service component for auto-electrical workshops, custom car audio or accessory installers, and specialty harness fabricators building custom dashboard extensions, auxiliary fuse panel layouts, or overhauling broken multi-way cockpit junctions with precision field tools.
