6 Position Power Double Lock Connector

TE Connectivity (TE) announced its new type of double-row crimp panel mount connection solution that meets the market demand for multifunctional appliances - the 6-position power double lock (PDL) connector. Featuring a new resin material, retainer and ergonomic design, the connector incorporates glow wire option, terminal position assurance (TPA) and good handling properties.

The PDL panel-mount connector mates with 4- and 2- position plug housings and features an asymmetrical polarized design that prevents mismating. The connector, which meets 9A/300VAC rating and GWT requirements, is a competitive solution for our customers in the appliance marketplace.

The PDL connector complies with UL94 V-0 and IEC 60335-1. TPA retainers help prevent contacts from backing out in applications with random vibration and ensure full contact insertion within the housing. TPA also provides additional retention force for more secure mating and performance. Moreover, the ergonomic design of the connector improves efficiency of workers on the shop floor. The combination of these features allows TE Connectivity to meet the customers’ requirements throughout the world.
