Frequently Asked Questions

Is the v cover compatible with other connectors besides 1-1718645-1?

This protective cover is specifically engineered to mechanically latch onto the 1-1718645-1 series connector housing. While it may fit other variants within the same specific connector family (depending on keying), we strongly recommend using it only with the specified mating part to guarantee the waterproof seal and locking retention.

Does this cover protect against high-pressure water cleaning?

Yes. One of the primary functions of the kw-117186451 is to provide water impact resistance. When properly installed with the correct wire seals, it protects the rear of the connector from high-pressure water jets often used in vehicle maintenance and engine washing, preventing water intrusion that could cause short circuits.

Can Kaweei supply the connector and the cover assembled with wires?

Yes, absolutely. As a custom wire harness manufacturer, we don't just sell the plastic parts. We can provide a complete cable assembly service: supplying the 1-1718645-1 connector, crimping the terminals to your specified wires, and installing the kw-117186451 cover, delivered to you as a ready-to-use component.
