Power Triple Lock Connector System

TE Connectivity (TE), one of the world's market leaders in connectivity solutions, has developed the Power Triple Lock (PTL) Connector System for improved power and signal applications.

Delivering high performance from a highly functional design, the PTL Connector System offers an array of enhanced features, including: optional connector position assurance (CPA), optional terminal position assurance (TPA), housings capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 150°C (302°F) and an upgraded lanceless contact design. Related benefits include stronger, more reliable connections, increased durability and faster assembly times.

The Power Triple Lock Connector System is also available in three levels of housing materials with keying/color code to prevent mismating on the assembly line.

The PTL connector system is ideal for household appliances and products related to heating, ventilation and air conditioning, industrial machinery and lighting.
