1488992-5

Overview

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1488992-5 is a 3-position rectangular housing connector from the MCON series. It is designed as a sealed female assembly with an A key and includes a CPA (Connector Position Assurance) feature. The connector utilizes a crimp termination method for wire connections. Key physical specifications include a 0.157-inch (4.00mm) pitch and black thermoplastic housing material. It supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and features a latching bracket for secure installation.

Feature Summary

• Sealed design ensures environmental protection against moisture and contaminants
• Integrated Connector Position Assurance (CPA) prevents mating errors
• A-keyed configuration provides positive polarization for correct alignment

Applications

• Automotive electrical systems requiring sealed interconnects
• Industrial control panels needing reliable wire-to-wire connections
• Harsh environment applications demanding high temperature resistance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes on the datasheet to confirm the inclusion of the CPA and seal status, as these define the functional configuration. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding MCON series contacts and tools. Cross-reference the official TE Connectivity documentation for the latest manufacturing status and any potential obsolescence notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sealed, polarized solution is required for low-voltage signal or power transmission. The 4.00mm pitch accommodates standard wire gauges suitable for automotive and industrial uses. Verify that the mating counterpart shares the same A-key designation and CPA mechanism to ensure proper engagement and sealing integrity in the final assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MCON series of rectangular connectors, which are widely used in automotive and general industrial applications. The series is known for its robust sealing capabilities and modular design, allowing for various position counts and keying options to meet diverse connectivity requirements across different equipment types.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed parameter-equivalent substitutes include TE Connectivity part numbers 1-1670917-1, 1-1718644-1, and 2-1718644-1. These alternatives share similar specifications within the MCON family but must be verified against the original drawing for exact mechanical and electrical compatibility.
