16Pin Female Black Car Aftermarket Stereo Audio Connector 33472-1601 – TS30359-16P-21 High-Reliability Automotive Plug for Factory-Style Integration

In the world of automotive audio upgrades, maintaining OEM-level integrity while installing aftermarket components is a top priority. The TS30359-16P-21 delivers exactly that—an engineered solution for seamless stereo integration that preserves factory wiring, ensures signal accuracy, and supports full vehicle functionality. As the female counterpart to the TS30359-16P-11 male housing, this 16-pin black connector is designed to match the widely used 33472-1601 interface, making it ideal for retrofitting head units in a broad range of vehicles. Its discreet black housing blends into original equipment layouts, minimizing visual disruption while offering a secure, durable connection for audio, power, and control signals in cars, yachts, UTVs, and specialty vehicles.

Why Choose the Black TS30359-16P-21?

The black housing of this connector is more than just a color choice—it’s a design decision for invisibility and compatibility. In factory-installed harnesses, black connectors dominate the landscape. Using a matching black female housing ensures the upgraded system looks original, avoiding the visual mismatch that can occur with brightly colored alternatives. This aesthetic consistency is particularly important for professional installers, fleet service centers, and customers who value a clean, OEM-like finish after replacing their stereo system.

Engineered for Durability in Harsh Conditions

Vehicles expose electrical components to extreme environments: temperature swings from -40°C to +125°C, constant vibration, humidity, and chemical exposure from cleaning agents or road salts. The TS30359-16P-21 is built to withstand these challenges. Its housing—made from either PBT+GF15% or PA66+GF30%—offers high tensile strength, excellent dimensional stability, and resistance to thermal deformation. The black pigment is integrated during the polymer stage, ensuring no fading or chipping over time, even under prolonged UV exposure or aggressive cleaning.

Mat-Seal Technology for Superior Environmental Protection

Each terminal cavity features a factory-installed rubber diaphragm that forms a tight seal around the wire upon insertion. This mat-seal system prevents moisture, dust, and corrosive gases from entering the connector body, significantly reducing the risk of short circuits, signal degradation, and terminal corrosion. Unused cavities remain sealed by default, and optional cavity plugs are available for customized configurations. This level of protection is essential for marine applications, off-road vehicles, and any environment where reliability under adverse conditions is non-negotiable.

Plug-and-Play Compatibility for Hassle-Free Upgrades

Replacing a factory head unit should not mean cutting wires or compromising vehicle electronics. The TS30359-16P-21 enables a true plug-and-play experience, allowing aftermarket stereos to connect directly to the vehicle’s existing harness. This preserves steering wheel controls, backup camera feeds, microphone inputs, and CAN bus communication, ensuring all factory features remain fully functional. It also simplifies future upgrades or vehicle resale, as the original wiring remains intact and undamaged.

High-Performance Terminals for Stable Signal Transmission

The internal contacts are made from premium copper alloy, brass, or phosphor bronze—materials chosen for their superior conductivity, spring retention, and resistance to oxidation. These terminals are precision-stamped and formed to ensure optimal mating force and minimal contact resistance. Whether carrying high-power amplifier signals or delicate digital audio data, they deliver consistent, low-noise performance over thousands of mating cycles.

Broad Application Across Vehicle Types

While commonly used in car stereo upgrades, this connector is also suitable for:

• Factory extension harnesses for service and repair

• Marine infotainment and navigation systems

• UTV and ATV control modules

• Vehicle lighting and sensor interface units

• Custom wire harness assemblies for OEMs

Its standardized design and compatibility with common crimping tools make it a versatile choice for both mass production and custom installations.
