176275-2

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 176275-2 is a rectangular power connector housing belonging to the AMP Universal Power series. It is designed as an 8-position plug housing for wire-to-wire applications. The connector features a double row configuration with a centerline pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 in). It utilizes a crimp termination method and supports a voltage rating of 300 VAC. The housing material meets UL 94V-0 flammability standards.

Feature Summary

• Double row plug housing design for secure wire-to-wire interconnections
• Crimp termination system ensuring reliable electrical contact
• UL 94V-0 rated insulation material for fire safety compliance

Applications

• Wire-to-wire power distribution assemblies
• Rectangular power connector systems requiring double row configurations
• Industrial equipment internal wiring harnesses

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires an 8-position, double-row plug housing with a 3.96 mm pitch. Confirm compatibility with corresponding AMP Universal Power series contacts and mating housings. Ensure the operating environment aligns with the 300 VAC rating and UL 94V-0 material specifications. Cross-reference official datasheets for precise mechanical dimensions and mating interface details before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, double-row power connection is needed for wire-to-wire setups. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard power wire gauges suitable for 300 VAC applications. Consider the UL 94V-0 rating if fire resistance is a critical design constraint. Ensure sufficient panel or chassis space exists for the dual-row footprint compared to single-row alternatives.

Part Context

This component is part of the AMP Universal Power series, which provides standardized rectangular power connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to support diverse power distribution needs. The 176275-2 specifically addresses requirements for higher density connections through its double-row layout while maintaining the reliability associated with the Universal Power brand.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series must maintain the 8-position count, double-row structure, and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that any alternative housing shares identical mating interfaces and locking mechanisms to ensure interchangeability without redesigning the assembly.
