Rated 7 A per contact at 30 V, this plug carries the main DC rail current for a small battery — think a single-cell Li-ion pack or a multi-cell series string where each blade handles one power path. Gold plating on the contacts (11.8 µin) resists corrosion in the battery compartment environment, where humidity and condensation can be a problem over the life of a portable device. The push-pull fastening type means it mates and unmates without a locking latch — fine for internal battery connections that see only occasional service cycles. ## Mounting and Termination — Right-Angle SMT at the Board Edge The mounting type is board edge, surface mount, right angle — which means the connector overhangs the PCB edge so the battery cable plugs in from the side, not from above. The insulation is polyamide (PA6T, Nylon 6T), a high-temperature nylon that withstands lead-free reflow profiles without distortion. Operating temperature range is -30°C to 70°C, which covers indoor consumer electronics and most industrial portable gear but not automotive under-hood or extended outdoor exposure. ## What It Mates With — Finding the Receptacle Half This plug mates with a TE battery receptacle housing in the same 1612962 series, 10-position, 2.00 mm pitch, female socket configuration. For field replacement, the plug unmates cleanly without tools. No official cross-reference or equivalent part from another manufacturer exists for this TE order code. The base product number 1612962 identifies the series; the suffix -3 denotes the specific variant (10-position, right-angle, SMT, gold plating).","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 1-1612962-3 Battery Connector Plug, 10 Pos","metaDescription":"TE 1-1612962-3 battery connector plug, 10 positions, 2.00mm pitch, right-angle SMT, 7 A, 30 V, gold contacts, RoHS.
