Wire-to-wire connector system

22 March 2006 Interconnection

The RoHS-compliant Amp 4,2 mm Power Economy (PE) series connector system from Tyco Electronics is designed for wire-to-wire and wire-to-board applications that require 4,2 x 4,2 mm centreline spacing. The plastic connector easily mates and unmates while maintaining a positive-latch design.

Suitable for wire harness assemblies used in vending machines, appliances, gaming products, HVAC, lighting, and other industrial/commercial products; the 4,2 mm PE connector system is available in 2-24 positions. It accommodates a receptacle housing and either a panel mount or free hanging plug housing as well as PCB headers with vertical and right-angle mounting styles.

This system is rated for 600 V a.c. and 9 A maximum (in a 2-position configuration). Durability is rated at 50 mating cycles. The connector housing is constructed of UL 94V-2 and 94V-0 flammability rated nylon with gold or tin-plated phosphor bronze or brass contacts.
