1658665-1 – TE CONNECTIVITY

Overview

The TE Connectivity 1658665-1 is a high-reliability socket contact designed for robust electrical interconnections within demanding environments. Its primary function is to facilitate secure mating with header pins, ensuring signal integrity and power delivery. A critical design consideration for this FFC series contact is the trade-off between its 3A current rating and the need for efficient heat dissipation in compact, high-density assemblies; exceeding this rating can lead to premature contact degradation and thermal runaway, a common pitfall in power-sensitive applications.

Key Features

• Contact Type: Socket (Female)
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Plating: Tin
• Current Rating: 3 A
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +105°C
• Physical Dimensions: Compact, suitable for reel packaging

Applications

The component is engineered for deployment in systems requiring high reliability and performance under specific operating conditions. It provides functional stability across the stated design envelope.

• Signal and power termination in automotive sensor modules
• Interconnects for industrial control panel wiring
• Low-voltage power distribution in consumer electronics
• Data cable assembly for embedded systems
