TE Connectivity 353030-1 24-Way Female Multilock 040 Connector

The Component: Genuine TE Connectivity Multilock 040 / 040 III High Density Series 24-way unsealed female plug housing. Features a 24-position 3-row straight layout configuration / High-density compact wire-to-board and wire-to-device application footprint / Factory White premium Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation body / Integrated dual-lock side plate retention mechanism / Automotive dashboard, cabin signaling, and powertrain sub-assembly plug / Component Part Number: 353030-1 / Global Order Reference: 353030-1.

Applications & Fitment: Engineered to provide space-optimized, highly reliable low-voltage signal routing and integrated low-current power distribution within complex automotive cabin environments, instrumentation clusters, body control modules, and engine bay sensory networks. This authentic 24-pin TE Connectivity female receptacle plug is widely deployed on domestic and international vehicle manufacturing platforms (including widespread Japanese OEM wire harness assemblies) to connect multi-line circuit paths directly to board-mount male headers or inline device enclosures. Molded from premium, impact-resistant Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) resin, the housing provides exceptional dimensional stability, minimal moisture absorption, and absolute electrical insulation integrity across a certified operating thermal range from -30°C to +105°C. Contact alignment and structural retention security are maximized via an integrated side-sliding double-lock plate acting as a secondary Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) mechanism, ensuring individual wires remain locked in place under continuous cockpit harmonics and mechanical engine vibration. The unsealed 24-cavity grid is precisely tailored to house standard 0.64mm (.040) micro signal terminals alongside larger power circuit lines for integrated ground or voltage supply paths. An indispensable standard replacement component for dedicated auto-electrical repair facilities, custom low-voltage loom builders, and factory harness fabrication workshops.
