TE Connectivity 353027-1 17-Way Female Multilock 040 Connector inc Terminals

TE Connectivity 353027-1 17-Way Female Multilock 040 Connector

The Component: Genuine TE Connectivity Multilock 040 / 040 III High Density Series 17-way unsealed female plug housing. Features a 17-position 3-row straight layout / Compact wire-to-board and wire-to-device application envelope / Premium Natural-White Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) structural resin composition / Integrated side lock plate mechanism / Automotive electrical and signal dashboard sub-assembly plug / Component Part Number: 353027-1 / Global Order Reference: 353027-1.

Applications & Fitment: Engineered as a reliable, space-optimized low-voltage signal distribution interface for automotive cabin electronics, instrumentation panels, body control networks, and auxiliary sensory connections. This authentic 17-pin TE Connectivity female receptacle plug is heavily utilized across domestic and international vehicle manufacturing platforms to route low-current signal and microprocessor lines directly to board-mount male headers or inline device enclosures. Molded from premium, impact-resistant Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) engineering polymer, the housing features high dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, and absolute insulating resistance across a standard vehicle operating temperature range from -30°C to +105°C. Contact alignment and absolute retention security are maintained through an integrated side-locking plate feature acting as a secondary Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) lock, ensuring individual wires remain seated under typical cockpit acoustics and engine harmonics. The unsealed matrix contains 17 high-density contact cavities designed to house a combination of 0.64mm (.040) nominal micro signal terminals and applicable low-current lines. An essential standard line item for dedicated auto-electrical workshops, custom low-voltage loom builders, and factory wiring repair centers.
