AMP Type 1.5 Series Automotive Waterproof Connector – HID Male & Female Plug Socket with 15cm Wire, 1P–6P

AMP (TE Connectivity) Type 1.5 series automotive waterproof connectors with pre-wired 15cm leads — the standard connector family for HID (High-Intensity Discharge) headlight ballasts, automotive sensors, and low-current vehicle wiring. The 1.5mm pitch, IP67-rated housing is designed for the compact, vibration-resistant connections required in automotive lighting and sensor applications. Pre-wired with 15cm leads for direct splice installation without a crimp tool.

AMP Type 1.5 vs Type 2.8 vs Superseal — Automotive Connector Selection

• AMP Type 1.5 (this product): 1.5mm pitch, 8.5A per contact. Compact size for low-current sensors, HID ballasts, and signal wiring. The most common AMP series for automotive lighting and sensor applications.
• AMP Type 2.8: 2.8mm pitch, 15A per contact. For higher-current automotive circuits: fuel injectors, ignition coils, and medium-current actuators. Larger housing than Type 1.5.
• Superseal 1.5: Similar pitch to Type 1.5 but with enhanced sealing for extreme environments. Used in underbody and engine bay applications with high water and chemical exposure.
• Deutsch DT: Size 16 contacts, 13A per contact, IP67. For general automotive harness wiring where higher current or more robust mechanical connection is required.

HID Ballast Connector Wiring

HID headlight ballasts typically use 2-pin AMP Type 1.5 connectors for the power input (12V + GND) and separate connectors for the igniter output to the HID bulb. Common configurations:

• 2-pin: Power input to ballast (12V supply + GND return)
• 3-pin: Power + control signal (for adaptive headlight systems with angle adjustment)
• 4-pin: Power + two control signals (for bi-xenon systems with high/low beam switching)
• Always verify the ballast’s connector pinout against the vehicle wiring diagram before connecting — pin assignments vary by manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these genuine AMP / TE Connectivity connectors?

These are AMP Type 1.5 compatible connectors manufactured to AMP Type 1.5 dimensional and performance specifications. For OEM warranty repair requiring certified genuine TE Connectivity parts, specify genuine AMP part numbers and request certificates of conformance. For aftermarket HID upgrades, sensor replacements, and custom harness builds, AMP-compatible connectors provide equivalent performance.

Can I use these connectors without a crimp tool?

Yes — the pre-wired leads (15cm) allow direct splice installation using butt splice connectors or solder + heat-shrink, without a crimp tool. If you need to assemble bare AMP Type 1.5 housings and contacts from scratch, a TE Connectivity 91506-1 or equivalent ratchet crimp tool with Type 1.5 dies is required.

What is the maximum current for a 6-pin AMP Type 1.5 connector?

8.5A per contact. The total connector current is the sum of all circuit currents — ensure no single contact exceeds 8.5A. For HID ballast applications, the ballast typically draws 3–5A at 12V during steady-state operation (35W ballast = ~3A; 55W ballast = ~4.6A), well within the 8.5A contact rating.

Typical Applications

• HID headlights: Ballast power input connections, igniter output connections
• Automotive sensors: O2 sensors, MAP sensors, coolant temperature sensors
• Lighting upgrades: LED and HID retrofit harness connections
• Motorcycle: Sensor and lighting connections on modern motorcycles
• Custom harness: Low-current automotive circuit connections requiring compact, waterproof connectors
