4 TE CONNECTIVITY / SEALED CONNECTORS: ENHANCING HVAC SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND LONGEVITY SEALED CONNECTOR PORTFOLIO FOR ENHANCED SYSTEM SEALING Engineers must design for safety and durability while meeting global industry safety standards. At TE, we offer comprehensive connectivity solutions that address diverse application requirements with a single connection. Our portfolio of sealed connectors offers extra locking mechanisms, water and dust proof capabilities, flameproof materials, and glow wire tested (GWT). Seal the deal and explore our power and signal connector components. Power Versa-Lock connectors offer high-performance, wire-to-wire power with IP67-rated protection from water and dust. A mounting clip secures free-hanging connectors, and a twist and lock (TNL) cap allows moisture to drip away from the connection. Housings meet UL 94 V-0 and glow wire test (GWT) flammability standards. The maximum temperature is 125 degrees C. There are also a secure tab and receptacle contact system and optional terminal position assurance (TPA) devices. Sub-applications include the control board, human-machine interface, the power board, and the fan/step motor. 2.5mm Sealed Signal Double Lock connector offers design flexibility to create compact, durable connections in low power and signal applications. The product line includes many optional features to help protect against during manufacture and product end-use. These features include a double lock plate to ensure complete mating during assembly, a high-profile header for use on printed circuit boards (PCB) with conformal coatings, and IP67-rated sealed connectors for reliable performance in high humidity and wet environments. Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors include terminal position as (TPA) to ensure terminals are fully seated and cannot back out for 2-5 positions. Cap and plug housings enable mixing of pin and socket contacts within the same housing for enhanced flexibility. They are useful in HVAC sub-applications such as control board, human-machine interface, power board and sensors.Splash proof sealed version.
