TE Connectivity – The OEM Behind Many Automotive Connectors

TE Connectivity is one of the world’s largest connector manufacturers, supplying OEM connector systems to virtually every major automaker. The company has operated under multiple names: AMP (original brand, founded 1941), Tyco Electronics (after AMP’s acquisition by Tyco International in 1999), and TE Connectivity (current name since 2011). Many automotive connectors are still referred to as “AMP connectors” in workshop manuals and parts catalogs, even though the manufacturer is now TE Connectivity.

Terminal Identification

• 175265-1 (Female / Socket): The socket contact — receives the male pin. Used in the female connector housing (vehicle harness side in most applications).
• 175269-1 (Male / Pin): The pin contact — inserts into the female socket. Used in the male connector housing (sensor or module side in most applications).

Crimping Requirements

• Use a ratchet crimp tool with the correct die set for TE Connectivity 175265-1 / 175269-1 terminals
• Strip wire insulation to the length specified in the terminal’s crimp specification sheet
• Crimp both the wire crimp zone (conductor) and insulation crimp zone (jacket)
• Pull-test each terminal after crimping to verify retention
• Insert terminal into housing until the locking tab clicks; use TE Connectivity removal tool to extract without damaging the housing

Common Applications

• Engine management sensor harness re-pinning (MAF, MAP, TPS, O2 sensor)
• Body electrical harness terminal replacement
• Transmission harness re-pinning
• HVAC and climate control harness repair
• Any TE Connectivity / AMP connector housing requiring 175265-1 / 175269-1 contacts

Frequently Asked Questions
