Alternatively, measure the terminal pitch in the housing cavity and match to the appropriate TE terminal series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: What is the difference between 1-964449-1 (male) and 1-965427-1 (female)?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1-964449-1\u003c\/strong\u003e is the male plug — it has pin terminals that insert into the female socket. \u003cstrong\u003e1-965427-1\u003c\/strong\u003e is the female socket — it has socket terminals that accept the male pins. In automotive ECU applications, the female socket is typically on the wiring harness side and the male plug is on the ECU side — but this varies by application. Always verify the gender of your original connector before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: Can ECU connector corrosion cause false DTCs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — this is one of the most common diagnostic pitfalls in automotive repair. A corroded ECU connector terminal increases circuit resistance, causing the ECU to read incorrect sensor values or detect open\/short circuit faults. This generates DTCs that point to the sensor or actuator rather than the connector. Before replacing any sensor or actuator based on a DTC, always inspect the associated connector for corrosion. A €10 connector replacement has resolved countless misdiagnosed sensor faults.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keszoox","offers":[{"title":"15cm wire","offer_id":47394040217835,"sku":"14:200004891#15cm wire","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15cm wire 1","offer_id":47394040250603,"sku":"14:200003699#15cm wire","price":55.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Male Connector Set","offer_id":47394040283371,"sku":"14:200004889#Male Connector Set","price":22.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Female Connector Set","offer_id":47394040316139,"sku":"14:200004890#Female Connector Set","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/1005\/8731\/files\/16p-auto-ecu-connector-plug-main.webp?v=1770356258","url":"https:\/\/keszoox.com\/products\/16p-male-female-auto-ecu-connector-plug-car-electrical-connector-1-964449-1-1-965427-1","provider":"Keszoox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
