Wire gauges available are 26AWG to 10AWG, voltage ratings are 250V to 600V, and maximum operating temperatures between 105°C to 250°C. Considering application tooling on the front end ensures that the correct interconnects are available and on hand going into production. Material types include brass, copper, steel, copper alloy, phosphor bronze, stainless steel, and nylon, while plating options include nickel, tin, silver, and unplated, pre-tin. Extra locking mechanisms ensure that during vibration, the parts themselves do not vibrate off of their mated parts. FIGURE 1: TE Connectivity's featured connectors are tiny in size (Source: TE Connectivity) TE Connectivity connectors are rated to IP standards, Military Specifications (MIL-SPEC), and automotive certifications. They reliably transmit data, signals and power in the harshest and most extreme environment conditions. Key portfolio benefits in this product segment include: • IP56-IP69K rated sealing protection • High-power options • High-temperature range spanning -25°C to 110°C and even 150°C and higher, based on applications • A broad portfolio • Glow-wire tested solutions for harsh environments • Wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, and wire-to-panel options • Insulation offerings • Miniaturized solutions • Polarized housings and latching mechanisms Power Versa-Lock Connectors (Figure 1) are tiny in size and IP rated. Also, latching polarized housings (right photo) avoid housings either upside down or in the wrong position. Today's connectors go into smaller, more confined areas that are extremely hot. TE Connectivity offers the correct wires and the proper insulation on connectors used in temperature ranges of -25°C to 110°C and even 150°C and higher. Terminals and Splices The TE Connectivity family of terminals and splices (Figure 2) offers pre-insulated or non-insulated, closed barrel, and open barrel terminals. These ergonomic-friendly wiring solutions are designed for high retention and low insertion force. They ensure enough insertion force to lock into position without causing pain or strain on the installer. Key portfolio benefits: • Pre-insulation and uninsulated options • High-temperature solutions • Application tooling • Variety of plating options • Straight and flag configurations • Vibration resistance • Low insertion force—ergonomic • High retention • MIL-SPEC certified offerings
