Flag terminal for 0.187" tabs
The 1217955-1 is the female quick-disconnect terminal in TE's Amplivar and Faston series, accepting 14-18 AWG wire and mating to 0.187" (4.75mm) wide tabs. The 90° flag orientation routes the wire parallel to the tab plane, suiting tight spaces where a straight crimp would not fit. Tin-plated brass contact material resists corrosion in moderate environments.
Same-tab-width peers in the catalog
The 1217955-1 shares its 0.187" tab width with the Utilux-series terminal 1-1659250-0 (17-20 AWG, 0.031" tab thickness) and the 1-1627194-4 (15-18 AWG, 0.032" tab thickness). Tab thickness matches the 1-1627194-4 at 0.032" (0.81mm); the 1-1659250-0 is 0.031" (0.79mm). Wire gauge range and insulation support differ — match the terminal to the wire size and tab thickness of the mating tab.
