The part number **166364** typically refers to a specialized electronic component, most commonly associated with **TE Connectivity (formerly AMP)** or specific industrial equipment manufacturers like **Bürkert**. The most prominent electronic component with this designation is a **Heavy Duty Connector Contact** or a **Coaxial Socket/Pin**. --- ### 1. Component Overview (TE Connectivity 166364) In the world of electronic connectors, this part is often a high-quality socket contact designed for reliable electrical transmission in harsh environments. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Product Type** | Contact / Socket | | **Connector System** | Cable-to-Panel / Cable-to-Board | | **Contact Gender** | Female (Socket) | | **Contact Base Material** | Brass or Phosphor Bronze | | **Plating** | Gold or Tin (Depending on sub-variant) | | **Termination Method** | Crimp | ### 2. Technical Characteristics * **High Conductivity:** Designed for low electrical resistance to prevent power loss or signal degradation. * **Crimp Termination:** This method provides a gas-tight connection, making it vibration-resistant and suitable for industrial machinery. * **Durability:** Usually rated for hundreds of mating cycles due to the high-quality plating. * **Compatibility:** Often used within the "M Series" or similar circular/rectangular connector housings. ### 3. Alternative Identification (Bürkert 166364) In some industrial contexts, **166364** refers to a specific **Solenoid Valve Coil** or a **Cable Plug** assembly used in fluid control. * **Type:** 2508 Cable Plug. * **Function:** Provides the electrical interface between a power source and a solenoid valve. * **Voltage Rating:** Usually supports 0-250V AC/DC. * **Protection Class:** Often rated IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets). ### 4. Typical Applications * **Industrial Automation:** Connecting sensors and actuators to control panels. * **Aerospace & Defense:** High-reliability signal transmission in avionics. * **Medical Equipment:** Internal wiring for diagnostic machinery. * **Fluid Control:** Driving solenoid valves in chemical or water treatment plants. --- ### 5. Installation Note When using the **TE Connectivity 166364** (crimp contact), ensure you use the correct **Extraction Tool** and **Crimping Tool**. Using the wrong gauge wire or an incorrect tool can result in a high-resistance joint or mechanical failure under vibration.
