TE Connectivity / AMP 1473247-1 is published on this site as an automotive connector cap and cover record in the MQS series. The catalogue also describes it as a cover assembly accessory. That makes the exact number a useful starting point when a wire-harness team receives a service, sourcing, or documentation request. It does not by itself approve an assembly, establish an interface, or define an installation process. This guide shows how to turn the published record into a disciplined review without adding claims that the record does not support.
1. Begin with an exact MQS cover record
Open the published TE Connectivity 1473247-1 product page and capture the manufacturer name, complete part number, page link, request date, and any drawing or harness reference supplied by the requester. The record identifies the item as an automotive connector caps-and-covers product and lists the MQS series. Those visible identity details are more reliable than a shortened purchase description, an unlabeled photograph, or a remembered family name.
Keep catalogue identity separate from release evidence. A website record does not establish the approved housing, terminal, seal, routing, service procedure, cable, tool, or application-specific result. If a field request depends on any of those points, ask for the controlled drawing, approved bill of materials, assembly instruction, and revision status that govern the actual work.
2. State the review question before selecting data
“Need a connector cover” is not yet a decision. Clarify whether the request concerns document retrieval, a quotation, a harness repair investigation, a prototype build, a released production task, or an engineering change. Record the harness designation, equipment location, circuit context, responsible owner, decision deadline, and required evidence. A precise question prevents a generic accessory description from being promoted into a design conclusion.
For example, a sourcing inquiry may only require an exact part number and commercial requirements. A production or service task can require a different set of controlled inputs, such as a released work instruction and inspection requirement. Do not use the catalogue page to fill missing values for fit, retention, environmental performance, cable exit, serviceability, or any approval that has not been documented for the exact configuration.
3. Treat related MQS listings as separate research records
The site also publishes TE Connectivity 368382-1 and TE Connectivity 368388-1, both described as automotive connector accessory records in the MQS series. They are useful independent links when a request includes several numbers. Their shared brand, series wording, or nearby product type does not prove that they fit 1473247-1, are approved in the same assembly, or can be substituted for one another.
Give every part number a separate line in the review record. For each one, retain the source, visible product description, controlled-document reference, and unresolved questions. If an interface or relationship must be confirmed, obtain evidence that specifically connects the exact items and configuration. This keeps an internal link helpful for research without turning it into an unsupported compatibility statement.
4. Build a practical wire-harness evidence pack
A useful review pack distinguishes confirmed facts from decisions still awaiting evidence. Keep the page URL and catalogue identity, then add the current harness drawing, revision, connector designation, project or customer requirement, and the owner authorized to approve the result. Capture the requested quantity, package expectation, and delivery context separately from engineering approval. Neither a product page nor a previous purchase line is a promise of current stock, price, or future availability.

- Current approved bill of materials, assembly instruction, inspection criteria, and change status.
- Open questions on interface, process, routing, retention, or application performance.
Frequently asked questions
Does the 1473247-1 page prove how the cover should be installed?
No. It is a published catalogue record for the exact part number. Installation and acceptance must follow the controlled information applicable to the particular harness or service task.
Can another MQS accessory page be used as evidence of fit?
No. A common brand, series label, or similar accessory description is not proof of fit, mating, retention, replacement, tooling, or performance. Confirm any relationship from the governing documentation for the configuration under review.
What should be included in a technical or sourcing request?
Provide the exact number, product-page link, source record, drawing or harness reference, revision context, decision needed, and the documents already available. The site also lists TE Connectivity 178483-1 as a separate rectangular-connector record; it is a separate catalogue reference, not evidence of a relationship with 1473247-1.
Conclusion
TE Connectivity 1473247-1 provides a clear MQS connector-cover identity for a traceable wire-harness review. Start with the precise published record, define the real decision, collect controlled evidence, and keep other listings independent until documentation proves a relationship.
