The Lear AFK / AFS terminal series combines a high-performance copper-alloy contact body with a stainless-steel support spring to maintain stable contact pressure and reliable electrical performance. Two integrated latches secure each terminal inside the connector housing, while a four-sided secondary-lock interface provides additional retention and helps prevent terminal displacement.

The terminal range supports wire cross-sections up to 6 mm² and is available with tin, gold and silver plating to address different electrical and environmental requirements. Versions for both sealed and unsealed connector systems enable use across a wide range of automotive electrical architectures.

 

Key technical features and benefits:

  • High-performance copper-alloy contact body
  • Stainless-steel spring supporting the contact area
  • Stable contact pressure and reliable electrical performance
  • Two latches for primary terminal locking and retention
  • Four-sided secondary-lock provision
  • Wire cross-sections up to 6 mm²
  • Tin-, gold- and silver-plated versions available
  • Suitable for sealed and unsealed connector applications
  • Supports connector systems with high terminal density
  • Compatible with common industry interface requirements
  • Robust terminal retention for demanding automotive environments
