Typical Applications

• Motorcycle instrument cluster and speedometer signal wiring
• Throttle position sensor (TPS) signal harness
• Scooter ECU input/output signal connectors
• ATV and quad bike sensor circuits
• Automotive interior control module signal wiring
• Small engine ignition timing sensor connectors

Unsealed Design – Where to Use 926097-1

The 926097-1 is an unsealed connector – no rubber wire seals or cavity plugs. It is designed for use in protected, dry locations such as inside instrument panels, under fairings, within ECU housings, or in enclosed control boxes. For exposed locations subject to water spray, use the sealed variant with individual wire seals.

Mating Connector & Terminal Information

• Mating female housing: 926096-1 (3-pin female, same AMP series)
• Terminal type: AMP micro-series male pin terminal – use precision micro-crimper rated for 22 AWG (0.3 mm²)
• Recommended crimp tool: Engineer PA-09 or TE Connectivity 91516-1
• Strip length: 2.5–3.0mm – critical for correct terminal engagement

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the mating female connector for 926097-1?
A: The mating female housing is 926096-1 (3-pin female, AMP micro-series). Both use the same micro-series terminal. Verify the female housing part number on your vehicle harness before ordering.

Q: Can I use 926097-1 for a 12V power circuit?
A: No. The AMP micro-series is rated for signal-level currents only (max 3A per pin). For power circuits (lighting, motors, relays), use a larger connector series such as 2.8mm Metri-Pack or 6.3mm Faston.

Q: Why does my instrument cluster show intermittent readings?
A: Intermittent instrument cluster signals are commonly caused by oxidized terminals in unsealed connectors like the 926097-1. Clean with electrical contact cleaner and apply a thin coat of dielectric grease to the mating faces. If the problem persists, replace the connector.

Q: What is the difference between 926097-1 and 926096-1?
A: 926097-1 is the male plug (pin contacts); 926096-1 is the female socket (socket contacts). They are the mating pair – you need both for a complete connection.
