Power Double Lock Connectors are compact connectors designed for use in power circuit applications and are ideally suited for wiring in refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, gas equipment, copying machines and automatic vending machines. These connectors can be used alone by inserting wire-terminated crimp snap-in contacts into the housing. However, to achieve more positive contact mounting, plug and cap housings can be equipped with a double lock plate that helps to completely insert contacts. There are three contact centerline spacings available: 3.96 mm, 6.5 mm and 7.92 mm. Of these, the 7.92 mm centerline contact arrangement is for 2-position board-mounted headers. The mating wiremounted plug connector uses the second circuit of the 3-position 3.96 mm centerline housing with no contact loaded. Available with the 3.96 mm centerline contact arrangement are wire-mounted plug housings and the mating wire-mounted cap housings (for freehanging and panel mounted applications) and boardmounted tab headers.

The 6.5 mm centerline contact arrangement is used in wire-mounted plug housings and the mating boardmounted tab headers. The plug housings are loaded with receptacle contacts and the cap housings with tab contacts. The tab headers for board mounting are preloaded with solder-dipping tab contacts with tail

Contacts accept two wire size ranges: 28-22 AWG (with insulation outer diameter of 1.3 to 2.0 mm) and 20-18 AWG (with insulation outer diameter of 2.0 to 3.1 mm).

• Power circuit connectors of compact design
• Uses double lock plate on the wire side that helps prevent partial mating of contacts
• Double lock plate compatible with high-count positions of more than 3 rows
• Tab and receptacle contacts resist scooping of contacts at mating / unmating
• Locking of plug to cap housings and plug to boardmounted headers made by the semi-inner locking system that helps preclude the possibility of disengagement by external pressure
• Both wire-to-wire and wireto-board applications available from the same Series lineup
• Board-mounted header compatible with resin coating, causing no hindrance with the plug locking function
• Design complies with a range of safety standards
• The housing lance design provides no lance on contacts and helps prevent entanglement of contacts with one another
• Fully polarized
• The following contact centerline by row centerline arrangements available:
• F
