Procurement Notes

Verify the exact mating contact part numbers required for this housing before procurement. Ensure that the selected contacts match the wire gauge and current rating specifications of your application. Confirm that the housing material and color code meet your environmental and identification requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet for proper tooling needs during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this housing based on the required number of positions and the specific contact type needed for your circuit. Consider the operating temperature range and environmental exposure when choosing the material variant. Ensure compatibility with the mating connector series to maintain signal integrity and mechanical fit. Evaluate the strain relief requirements for the attached cables.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AMPSEAL 16 series of connectors, which are widely used in automotive and industrial sectors. The series is known for its high current carrying capacity and resistance to harsh conditions. Part 1600636-5 specifically refers to the housing unit within this ecosystem, distinct from the individual contacts or seals.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must be verified against the original manufacturer's cross-reference list. Generic equivalents may not match the precise dimensional tolerances or locking mechanisms. Always validate the replacement part's electrical ratings and physical dimensions against the original design specifications.
