2236082-1

The 2236082-1 is a TE Connectivity automotive connector product. TE Connectivity is the global leader in automotive connectivity solutions, with a product portfolio that includes one of the industry’s broadest ranges of automotive connectors, terminals, and accessories. TE’s automotive connector families — including MQS, MCON, AMP MCP, AMPSEAL, and many others — are used by virtually every major automotive OEM and Tier 1 supplier worldwide, connecting critical vehicle systems from powertrain electronics to body modules, safety systems, and infotainment. TE automotive connectors are designed and tested to meet stringent international automotive standards including USCAR performance specifications, LV214 qualification, and individual OEM requirements. These connectors are engineered to provide reliable electrical connections throughout the vehicle lifetime, withstanding the extreme temperature cycling, high vibration, mechanical shock, moisture ingress, and chemical exposure typical of automotive environments. With decades of automotive engineering expertise and a global manufacturing footprint, TE Connectivity continues to innovate in automotive connectivity to support the industry’s transition to electrification, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and connected vehicles.

Automotive connectors provide reliable electrical interfaces between wiring harnesses and electronic components in vehicles. The basic principle involves two mating connector halves — a plug and a receptacle — each containing electrical contacts that mate when joined. The contacts are typically made from high-conductivity copper alloys with various plating options (tin, silver, or gold) depending on the application requirements. Female receptacle contacts use spring beam designs that provide normal force against male tab or pin contacts, creating low-resistance electrical connections that remain stable under vibration, thermal cycling, and aging. Connector housings are molded from high-performance engineering thermoplastics such as PBT, PA66, or PPS that provide mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance. Sealed connector designs incorporate elastomeric wire seals and interface seals to prevent moisture and contaminant ingress, achieving IP ratings from IP67 to IP6K9K depending on the series. Locking mechanisms and Connector Position Assurance (CPA) devices ensure that connectors are fully mated and cannot accidentally disengage. TE’s automotive connectors undergo rigorous qualification testing including temperature cycling, vibration, mechanical shock, salt spray, chemical resistance, and current cycling to ensure reliable performance for the vehicle lifetime.

Note: The exact pin configuration depends on the specific connector type and number of positions. For typical TE automotive connectors:

• Contact Types: Male tab/pin contacts and female receptacle contacts
• Common Contact Sizes: 0.5mm, 0.63mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.8mm, 6.3mm tab width
• Wire Size Ranges: 0.13mm² to 6mm² (26 AWG to 10 AWG) depending on contact size
• Arrangement: Single-row or multi-row configurations
• Keying/Polarization: Multiple keying options prevent mismating of different circuits
