Select a complete 1 through 6 cavity system by housing role, terminal gender, conductor size, cable outside diameter, seal, and cavity-plug requirements.

Selection sequence
Select the cable seal from cable OD, not AWG alone
Start with circuit count and mating role. Then select the contact for conductor size and select the cable seal from the finished cable outside diameter first. Insulation thickness can make two wires with the same AWG require different seals.
- 01
Housing
Choose cavity count, mating half, keying, and color.
- 02
Contact
Match pin or socket form, conductor gauge, and conductor construction.
- 03
Seal
Match the measured cable OD to a published seal range.
- 04
Unused cavities
Add a 12010300 cavity plug wherever no terminated wire is installed.
- 05
Assembly
Crimp contact and seal correctly, push-to-seat the terminal, then perform a retention tug check.
- 06
Mating check
Verify terminal lock, secondary retention, keying, and full connector engagement.
Housing part-number map
These retained black housing pairs cover 1 through 6 cavities. Aptiv also catalogs coded or colored alternates, including red 3-way part 12015092, so release the exact MPN rather than a generic description.

Contact selection
The ranges below are exact terminal records in the verified family subset. Contact and seal limits are separate checks. The 12 AWG terminals have additional Aptiv-validated insulation bands, but they are disjoint; this table shows the conservative continuous band supported by the gray seal.

Cable seals and cavity plugs
Choose the narrowest compatible range for the actual cable OD. Use cavity plug 12010300 only for an unused position, not as a substitute for a cable seal on a terminated wire.
| Seal MPN | Color | Cable OD |
|---|---|---|
| 15324983 | Red-brown | 1.29 to 1.70 mm |
| 15324985 | Violet | 1.60 to 2.15 mm |
| 15324982 | Green | 2.03 to 2.85 mm |
| 15324980 | Gray | 2.81 to 3.49 mm |
Sealed is a system condition
A Weather Pack housing is not waterproof by itself. A defensible build controls housing compatibility, conductor and insulation dimensions, terminal and seal selection, crimp quality, unused cavities, and full mating engagement.
For vehicle, marine, and field-equipment prototypes, document the exact housing, contact, seal, cavity-plug quantity, pinout, wire, and mating-half part numbers on the released assembly.
Weather Pack questions
Is a Weather Pack connector waterproof?
A housing is not waterproof by itself. Environmental performance depends on a complete, correctly assembled system: mating housings, compatible contacts, a cable seal matched to each conductor's outside diameter, cavity plugs in unused positions, sound crimps, and full mating engagement.
How do I select a Weather Pack cable seal?
Measure or obtain the finished cable outside diameter, then choose a Weather Pack seal whose published range contains that diameter. Wire gauge alone does not determine seal fit because insulation thickness varies by wire construction.
What position counts are covered in this guide?
The standard family set shown here covers 1 through 6 cavities in mating pin-contact and socket-contact housing halves. Confirm exact keying, color, and part number before release.
Do unused Weather Pack cavities need plugs?
Yes. Use the compatible 12010300 cavity plug in every unused cavity when the assembly needs a complete environmental sealing path.
Is Weather Pack the same as Metri-Pack?
No. Both are Aptiv sealed-connector ecosystems, but the housings, terminals, seals, keying, and application ranges are family-specific. Do not select parts by visual similarity.
