Crimp termination accepts 14-16 AWG wire, and the tin-plated copper alloy contacts handle repeated mate cycles in a sealed harness without the corrosion risk gold would address in a different duty cycle. The black PBT/PC housing is free-hanging in-line, suited for power distribution in industrial, marine, or outdoor equipment where a 3-wire interconnect needs to survive washdown or immersion. ## IP68 Only When Mated — Cap the Open Half The IP68 rating on 2379239-1 is valid only when the receptacle is mated with its NECTOR T plug. Unmated, the contact cavities are exposed — the connector does not carry a separate cap or dust cover in the standard offering. For applications where the receptacle sits open between shifts (e.g., a battery disconnect or modular power tap), plan for a field-installed protective cap or store the mating plug. The tin-plated copper alloy contacts deliver low resistance at that current, but the per-circuit rating assumes all 3 positions are loaded simultaneously at 25 A — derate if the ambient temperature exceeds 85°C or if the wire bundle is tightly grouped in a harness. The 14-16 AWG wire range matches the current: 14 AWG carries the full 25 A comfortably; 16 AWG is adequate for lower-current legs in the same cable assembly. For a 3-wire power interconnect (e.g., DC input, motor drive, or battery pack), this connector is a compact sealed alternative to a terminal block or circular.","metaTitle":"TE NECTOR T 2379239-1, 3-Position Sealed Receptacle, 25 A","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity NECTOR T 2379239-1 3-position cable-to-cable receptacle, 25 A per circuit at 600 V, IP68 sealed, crimp termination 14-16 AWG.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","LED Lighting Connectors"],"specifications":{"Style":"Cable/Wire to Cable/Wire","title":"2379239-1","Series":"NECTOR T","Package":"Tray","Wire Gauge":"14-16 AWG","Termination":"Crimp","Housing Color":"Black","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Receptacle, Female Sockets","Contact Finish":"Tin","Voltage Rating":"600V","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Housing Material":"Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Polycarbonate (PC)","Ingress Protection":"IP68 - Dust Tight, Waterproof","Number of Positions":"3","Current Rating (Amps)":"25A","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$5.2200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/2335850a8bf24f3823bd5c761fabf2d7.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is 2379239-1 IP68 rated?","answer":"Yes, the 2379239-1 carries an IP68 rating for dust-tight and waterproof operation, but only when mated with its NECTOR T plug.
