描述

480053-4 is a natural nylon housing component produced by TE Connectivity for use in electrical connectors and household appliance applications. The material exhibits inherent hygroscopic properties that can cause color variations ranging from white to green or yellow depending on moisture absorption and storage conditions, due to the presence of copper-ion-containing heat stabilizers in the resin formulation. Despite these cosmetic color changes, 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. The natural nylon material provides good wear resistance, light weight, and non-flammable characteristics, making it suitable for high-safety-performance applications in the growing white goods market. This component is designed to meet ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949 quality standards, ensuring reliable performance in demanding appliance environments where material selection is critical for market competitiveness.
