The new POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system has been developed for improved power and signal applications.
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system has many added customer benefits for performance assurance.
For complete 3 in 1 reliability, the benefits include:
• Audible ‘lock’ latch provides positive feedback when Cap & Plug are mated, while the ribs surrounding the latch
prevent wires from becoming snagged underneath the latch.
• Optional Connector Position Assurance (CPA) ensures that, once engaged, the
POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system cannot be mistakenly disengaged
• Optional Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) ensures that contacts are fully seated
within the housing and provides an added measure against contact backout
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system is available in three levels of housing
materials with keying/color code to prevent mis-mating on the assembly line:
• Standard 105°C - Natural, Purple, Blue, Yellow
• High temperature up to 150°C – Light Grey
• Glow wire – Dark Grey, Brown, Green, Orange
With a centerline space of 6.0mm, the reduced size of the POWER TRIPLE LOCK
connector system offers high performance with a functional design.
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system has an extensive family line, ranging
from free hanging and panel mount receptacles to future products such as board
mount headers to meet your everyday design needs.
