C‑13 Connectors for Automotive Wiring Systems

Celestix manufactures C‑13 connectors, C‑13 terminal housings, open‑barrel C‑13 crimp terminals, sealed C‑13 connector assemblies, and automotive sensor connectors engineered for engine‑bay wiring environments.

At Celestix Industries India Pvt. Ltd., we manufacture C‑13 connectors, C‑13 crimp terminals, automotive ECU terminals, and injector/sensor connector systems, all engineered to the IEC 60352‑2, ISO 6722, and ISO 19642 automotive wiring standards. Using tin-nickel-plated copper alloy contacts and PA66 housings, these components maintain low contact resistance and mechanical stability under continuous thermal and vibration exposure.

Our production capabilities include connector moulding, terminal stamping, C‑13 crimping, connector assembly, and structured QC systems that support automotive OEMs, harness manufacturers, and service‑harness producers.
