1544172-3

Overview

1544172-3 is a FASTON uninsulated receptacle terminal manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. Designed for cable mounting and free hanging installation, this component utilizes a crimp termination method to establish electrical connections. The contact material is specified as copper alloy, ensuring reliable conductivity and mechanical integrity under operational stress. Surface treatment includes tin plating on the contact interface to resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over time. This terminal supports wire gauges ranging from 12 AWG minimum to 9 AWG maximum, making it suitable for medium-power applications within automotive and industrial harnesses.

Feature Summary

• Uninsulated receptacle design for versatile integration into custom assemblies
• Crimp termination style ensures secure mechanical retention of conductors
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts provide durable corrosion resistance
• Free hanging or cable mount installation capability

Applications

• Automotive wiring harness assembly
• Industrial control panel interconnections
• General purpose electrical circuit termination

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the uninsulated receptacle configuration rather than insulated housing variants. Confirm the wire gauge range aligns with the 12 to 9 AWG specification during integration planning. Ensure compatibility with appropriate crimping tooling for the designated terminal size. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by the end-use environment. Validate that the tin plating meets the environmental exposure requirements of the application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an uninsulated terminal is required for crimping solid or stranded wires between 12 and 9 AWG. The tin plating offers adequate protection for standard indoor or protected outdoor environments. Consider the free-hanging nature of the terminal when designing harness routing and strain relief mechanisms. Ensure mating connectors accept FASTon-style blade terminals for proper engagement.
