Different Parts
Years ago, tractors, construction equipment, trucks, and boats had simple electrical systems that might have
included electrical starting and a basic lighting package. Today, ECUs, joysticks, fuel-efficient engines, LED lights,
and CAN systems are standard equipment. The need to protect sensitive electrical systems from vibration,
moisture, dust, dirt, salt, and airborne particles has never been greater. TE Industrial & Commercial Transportation
is a leader in supporting today’s increasingly complex and sophisticated equipment and applications.
Our comprehensive line of products includes an unparalleled portfolio of rugged sensors, terminals, connectors,
relays, and hybrid electric mobility solutions. These solutions are designed to withstand the harshest environmental
conditions and to help vehicles operate safer, cleaner, and smarter.
Our solutions adapt to
virtually any harsh environment

AMPSEAL CONNECTOR SERIES
Our AMPSEAL connectors are designed for cable-to-board harsh environment applications.
Environmentally sealed for rugged reliability, these connectors are available in cable plugs
and PCB mount headers engineered to withstand extreme temperature and moisture,
including high-temperature underhood applications. The pre-assembled receptacle housing
connector features built-in contact sealing and an integral interfacial seal that protects
mated connectors. Rated to IP6K9K, AMPSEAL connectors are offered in arrangements
from 8 to 35 positions. Available accessories are backshells and sealing plugs.

AMPSEAL WIRE SEALING RANGE
The wire sealing range is the recommended outside diameter of the wire insulation required to maintain an
environmental seal in the rear connector cavities.
Contact Size
Standard Seal
1.3 mm
16-20 AWG (1.5-0.5 mm2)
.067-.106
(1.7-2.7)
AMPSEAL ACCESSORIES
The accessory items available to complement the AMPSEAL connectors, are backshells and sealing plugs.
BACKSHELLS
AMPSEAL backshells offer a high level of protection and help reduce wire strain. They are made of heavy-duty
thermoplastic and provide enhanced aesthetics for AMPSEAL connector applications.

HOW-TO INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:
Grasp crimped contact
approximately one inch
behind the contact barrel.
AMPSEAL
CONNECTORS
CONTACT INSERTION
Step 2:
Check that the wedgelock of
the plug assembly is in open
position. Align the contact
with the applicable cavity.
Step 3:
Insert the contact into the
connector cavity until there
is an audible and tactile click.
A slight tug will verify the
contact is locked in place.
Note
AMPSEAL connector grommet
is solid until pierced.
Step 4:
After all the contacts have
been inserted, close the
wedgelock by simultaneously squeezing locking latches
inward and pushing the wedgelock into the housing.
CONTACT REMOVAL
Step 1:
Insert the tip of a screwdriver (2-5 mm wide blade)
between the edge of the
plug assembly housing and
one corner of the wedgelock.
Step 2:
Gently pry the edge of the
wedgelock until it is released
from (but not completely removed) the housing. Repeat
these steps for the opposite
corner of the wedge.
INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL TRANSPORTATION /// AMPSEAL CONNECTOR SERIES
Step 3:
Gently pull the wire of the
contact to be removed while
rotating the wire (a quarter
turn each direction) back
and forth until the contact is
removed from the housing.
