描述

480054-4 is a natural nylon housing component produced by TE Connectivity for use in electrical connectors and household appliance parts. The material exhibits good wear resistance, is lightweight, and is non-flammable, making it suitable for high-safety-performance applications in white goods and major household appliances. Natural nylon housings produced under this specification display inherent color variation ranging from white to green or yellow due to the hygroscopic nature of the resin and the presence of copper-ion-containing heat stabilizers; green discoloration occurs after moisture absorption, while yellow discoloration results from storage conditions and duration. Despite these natural color variations, the housing maintains its Form, Fit, and Function as validated through comprehensive testing including contact retention force, insulation resistance, dielectric withstanding voltage, thermal cycling, and accelerated aging. This material is widely used in appliance connectors and electrical housings where durability, safety performance, and cost-effectiveness are required.
