PC Board Headers for POWER TRIPLE LOCK Connector System

TE Connectivity (TE) introduces an expanded line of PC board headers for its POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system. These single row right-angle and vertical headers expand wire-to-board application options for this robust connector system with its three-in-one locking features for enhanced connection reliability.

With a 6mm centerline pitch, ratings up to 20A at 600VAC and numerous features to enhance ergonomics and ease assembly, the POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system continues to gain acceptance for applications in a range of industries. These two, three, four and five position headers in single row configurations should further the acceptance.

Features & Benefits:

• Stays snapped onto board prior to soldering thanks to contoured retainers on right-angle headers.
• Provides mounting options for design flexibility.
• Meets agency standards including UL recognition and VDE certification to ease end product approvals.
• Prevents wire snags with anti-snag latch design.
• Provides positive feedback with an audible ‘lock’ when header (or cap) and plug are mated, expediting assembly.
• Assures connector halves remain together once mated and latched with the optional connector position assurance (CPA) device.
• Assures terminals are fully seated in the housing and also provide an added measure against terminal back-out through use of optional terminal position assurance (TPA) device.
• Meets temperature requirements of various applications and also meets different flammability standards around the globe with multiple housing material options.
• Helps to prevent assembly errors with asymmetrical terminals that fit into the housing only one way.
• Prevents fretting corrosion of the contacts thanks to anti-fretting lubricant on the terminals.
• Allows the use of the same position size connector but prevents mis-mating due to multiple keying options.

Applications:

• Refrigerators
• Room Air Conditioners
• Lighting
• Security Systems
• Washers & Dryers
• Garage Doors & Gate Openers
• Vacuum Cleaners
• Industrial Machinery
• HVAC Systems
• Dishwashers
• Water Heaters
• Control Systems

• Mass Transit Vehicles & Systems

Heavy Duty Connectors

Heavy Duty Connectors for use in harsh environment covering protection degrees up to IP 69k, current rating 10 A to250 A and up to 216 contacts.

TE Connectivity (TE) introduces Heavy Duty Connectors (HDC), a connectivity solution for harsh environments. The Ingress Protection rating of up to IP69K and 1000 hours corrosion resistance test approval ensure long lasting performance by providing longer machine uptime, quick installation, and protection against environmental hazards including water, dust, chemicals, temperature, vibration, mechanical shock and high pressure. Due to its modular design, heavy duty connectors can help to reduce space requirements in applications providing highly customizable solutions. By combining products from TE’s portfolio of cable fittings, hoods, contacts, male or female inserts and housings, HDC can be assembled to almost any configuration for heavy duty applications.

HDC products have been adopted by a wide range of industries, including the wind energy, robotics, construction machinery, packaging, printing and tobacco machinery as well as railway and automation industries.

HDC products consist of three key elements: inserts, contacts and hoods and housing. The inserts and contacts are modular and assembled together to provide electrical performance, and the hoods and housings are made of metal or thermoplastic, robustly structured to provide mechanical and environmental protection for the connector. The waterproof anti-corrosion housing ensures that TE's HDC products work under harsh environments and even meet customers' outdoor connection needs.

TE's HDC product series support a wide range of electrical requirements, e.g. a rated current from 5A to 350A. The modular system provides a high degree of flexibility for customers to customize their solutions for different applications, without the need for modifications.

MULTIGIG RT High-Speed Backplane Connection System

TE Connectivity's MULTIGIG RT High-Speed Backplane Connection System offers a level of flexibility and customization never before seen in the industry. This printed circuit-based, pinless interconnect family consists of modular components which can be used in a variety of combinations -- ultimately providing the density, data throughput, and signal integrity required for virtually any application.

The MULTIGIG RT High-Speed Backplane Connection System utilizes printed circuit wafers, allowing for cost-effective sequencing and electrical customization of the connector. The wafers can be manufactured specifically for differential or signal-ended performance, and the impedance, propagation delay, and crosstalk of the connector can be altered per customer requirements. The MULTIGIG RT is used in numerous applications in the computer, communications, military, medical, and industrial control industries.

MULTIGIG RT 2-R Ruggedized Connectors

Included in TE Connectivity's MULTIGIG RT family are MULTIGIG RT 2-R Ruggedized Connectors. Both lightweight and high-speed, these board-to-board connectors are ideal for rugged embedded computing applications including ground and missile defense, electronic systems/C4ISR, and commercial and military aerospace. MULTIGIG RT 2-R connectors also support OpenVPX architecture and are compliant to VITA 46 -- including backward compatibility with all existing VITA 46 daughter cards.

The MULTIGIG RT 2-R Connector System features the modularity and flexibility of field-proven Multigig RT 2 connector products, but with a new quad-redundant contact structure designed for extreme vibration levels. Ruggedized guide hardware is also available to increase the stability of the daughter card-to-backplane interface under shock and vibration.

The TE Connectivity MULTIGIG RT High-Speed Backplane Connection System includes the following features:

• Customizable impedance-matched printed circuit wafer interface
