What This Frame Does in the Assembly
The TE Connectivity 1604079-1 is a receptacle frame — a black polycarbonate (PC) accessory that houses the contact modules for the Power Series 15/30/45 connector family. It is not a connector body itself; it is the structural shell that holds the receptacle inserts in place within a panel or housing.
Material and Build
The frame is molded from polycarbonate (PC), a material that offers good impact resistance and dimensional stability over the operating temperature range typical of power connectors. It ships in bulk packaging, which is typical for a frame that gets installed during harness or panel assembly rather than sold as a single retail unit.
Compatibility Check
This frame is specified for use with Power Series 15, 30, and 45 products. If you are working with a Power Series 30 connector, the 1604079-1 is the correct receptacle frame. It is not a universal fit — confirm that your contact modules and housing are from the same series before ordering.
