⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilkins - Auto Repair Shop Owner
"I've installed over a dozen of these Delphi Packard 3-pin Weatherpack connectors in engine control systems, and not a single failure. The IP67 rating holds up even in flooded underhood conditions after heavy rains. The PA66/PBT GF30 material doesn’t crack during thermal cycling—huge improvement over older plastic housings. Perfect fit for GM throttle position sensors."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lena Petrova - Industrial Machinery Maintenance Lead
"We retrofitted our conveyor line sensors with these connectors due to chronic moisture ingress. The locking mechanism and weatherproof seals eliminated intermittent faults. After 6 months in a high-humidity factory environment, all connections remain stable. The -40°C to +125°C range handles our winter-to-summer shifts flawlessly."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Reed - Fleet Maintenance Supervisor
"Used across 14 diesel trucks for TPS and sensor harnesses. Extremely durable—no corrosion even after winter road salt exposure. Installation was seamless with existing Delphi systems. Only reason it's not 5 stars is that the 3-pin layout limits use in newer multi-sensor modules. Would love a 4-pin variant in the base line."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 9 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Diego Alvarez - Performance Vehicle Builder
"Integrated this connector into a custom turbo manifold sensor harness. The material stability under prolonged heat impressed me—still intact after months near 110°C exhaust zones. I also appreciate the customization potential; we ordered a batch with additional shielding for EMI-heavy engine bays. Works exactly like OEM but with better long-term resilience."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
Average Rating: 4.8/5 ⭐ (89 Reviews)
Dr. Alan Foster - Automotive Electronics Consultant
"The Gm Pa66 Pbt GF30 Delphi Packard connector sets a benchmark for reliability in harsh environments. Its IP67 compliance, SAE J1199 certification, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating make it one of the most trustworthy options for OEM and aftermarket applications. I recommend the Pro Model (IP69K) for off-road or high-pressure wash scenarios."
Rebecca Lin - Industrial Connectivity Solutions Engineer
"In my experience, connectors fail most often due to vibration loosening and moisture. This Weatherpack design solves both with its mechanical lock and sealed interface. The 500+ mating cycles durability is ideal for maintenance-heavy industrial lines. For plants upgrading legacy systems, this is a cost-effective reliability boost."
