6-Pin 936271-1 2.2mm Series Male Connector – AC Assembly, Taillight & Backup Light Harness

The 936271-1 is a 6-pin male connector from the TE Connectivity / AMP 2.2mm pitch series, used in automotive AC assembly wiring, taillight harnesses, and backup (reverse) light circuits. The 2.2mm series bridges the gap between fine-pitch signal connectors and heavier-duty power connectors, making it suitable for mixed signal and low-power lighting circuits.

Key Specifications

• OEM Part Number: 936271-1
• Pin Count: 6
• Gender: Male plug
• Terminal Pitch: 2.2mm
• Housing Material: PA66 glass-filled nylon
• Terminal Material: Copper alloy, tin-plated
• Voltage Rating: 12V DC
• Current Rating: Up to 10A per pin
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +105°C

Applications

• AC assembly connector: Compressor clutch control and pressure sensor wiring
• Taillight harness: Combined stop/tail/turn signal connector blocks
• Backup light circuit: Reverse light switch and camera harness connections
• Body control module (BCM) outputs: Lighting relay and switch signal circuits

2.2mm Series – Technical Context

The AMP 2.2mm series is a mid-density connector family used where 1.5mm pitch is too small for the current load but 2.8mm pitch is unnecessarily large. Key characteristics:

• 10A per pin: Suitable for lighting circuits (stop lamps, reverse lamps, turn signals) and low-current AC control signals
• Compact footprint: 6-pin 2.2mm housing is significantly smaller than equivalent 2.8mm designs – important in tight taillight assemblies
• Positive latch: Single-beam latch with audible click – verify full engagement after mating

Common Failure Symptoms

• Taillight or backup light inoperative on one side (intermittent open circuit at connector)
• AC compressor clutch not engaging (P0645 – AC Clutch Relay Control Circuit)
• Backup camera losing signal intermittently
• Corrosion-induced short causing blown fuse in taillight circuit

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the mating female connector for 936271-1?
A: The mating female housing is 936270-1 (6-pin female, 2.2mm series). Both use the same 2.2mm pitch terminal – verify the female housing part number on your vehicle harness before ordering.

Q: Can this connector be used for both AC and lighting applications?
A: Yes. The 936271-1 housing is application-agnostic – the same physical connector is used for AC assembly, taillight, and backup light harnesses across different vehicle platforms. The application depends on which harness it is installed in.

Q: What causes backup lights to flicker on and off?
A: Intermittent backup light operation is most commonly caused by a corroded or loose connector at the reverse light switch or the taillight harness connector. Inspect the 936271-1 connector for oxidized terminals before replacing the reverse light switch.

Q: What vehicles use the 936271-1 connector?
A: The 936271-1 is a TE Connectivity standard part used across multiple OEMs. Cross-reference your vehicle's OEM part number to confirm fitment. It is commonly found in European and Asian vehicle platforms using AMP 2.2mm series connectors.
