The part number **967610-1** refers to a specific automotive electrical component manufactured by **TE Connectivity (AMP)**. It is a female socket housing designed for the **MCON Interconnection System**. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications This part is a high-performance connector commonly used in the automotive industry due to its vibration resistance and compact design. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | TE Connectivity / AMP | | **Product Series** | MCON 1.2 | | **Connector Type** | Receptacle (Female) Housing | | **Number of Positions** | 3 Positions | | **Pitch (Spacing)** | 4.0 mm | | **Color** | Black | | **Material** | PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +125°C | --- ## 2. Key Features and Applications The 967610-1 is engineered for reliability in harsh environments, specifically within vehicle engine compartments and chassis. ### Physical Design * **Locking Mechanism:** Features an integrated primary locking lance and is compatible with secondary locking mechanisms to ensure the terminals stay seated under high vibration. * **Keying:** It is "Code A" (standard keying), which prevents mismating with other similar-looking connectors. * **Sealing:** This specific housing is typically used in **sealed** applications when paired with the appropriate wire seals and mating headers. ### Common Applications 1. **Sensor Connections:** Used for connecting oxygen sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors. 2. **Actuators:** Connecting small motors or solenoids. 3. **Lighting:** Used in various automotive LED and signal lighting modules. --- ## 3. Associated Components To create a complete connection, the 967610-1 requires specific mating parts and terminals: | Component Type | Part Number / Series | | :--- | :--- | | **Mating Header/Plug** | 967611-1 (Tab Housing) | | **Compatible Terminals** | MCON 1.2mm Female Receptacles (e.g., 1452668-1) | | **Single Wire Seals** | 964971-1 (Blue/Red/Yellow depending on wire gauge) | --- ## 4. Summary for Engineers When designing with the **967610-1**, ensure that the wire insulation diameter matches the chosen single-wire seals to maintain the **IP (Ingress Protection)** rating. This connector is part of the "Clean Body" terminal family, meaning the locking lance is on the housing rather than the terminal, reducing the risk of damage during insertion.
