7282-6446-40 – YAZAKI

The YAZAKI 7282-6446-40 is a RoHS-compliant, automotive-grade, female connector housing designed for wire-to-wire or wire-to-device applications within vehicle electrical systems. Constructed from a glass-filled PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) resin, the housing provides high dielectric strength, chemical resistance to automotive fluids, and dimensional stability across a wide temperature range, typically -40°C to +125°C. This connector features a positive locking mechanism to ensure secure mating with a corresponding male connector, preventing accidental disconnections due to vibration or mechanical stress. The 7282-6446-40 accepts female terminals with a pitch of approximately 2.5mm, accommodating wire gauges ranging from 0.3mm² to 0.85mm² depending on the specific terminal used. It is commonly employed in low-voltage power and signal circuits within automotive body control modules, lighting systems, and sensor interfaces.
