Electric cooktops are steadily migrating to more elegant and functional designs that use ceramic or induction burner elements. TE offers a diverse array of burner connector solutions to reduce assembly time and eliminate assembly errors for higher reliability. Our relays, sensors and circuit protection devices can be key elements in your control circuits. Plus, we offer terminals specifically designed for gas igniters, and our broad range of tubing helps you to manage and protect your wiring harness.
Components
Harness
The wiring harness interconnects the Control Board to the various components throughout the cooking appliance, such as heating elements, temperature switches, temperature sensors and limit switches, fans, etc.
Main Control & User Interface
Basic cooking appliances control heating directly from temperature switches. Higher-end appliances control time and temperature from a control board. A typical control board will have wire-to-board power and signal connectors, sockets and relays.
Temperature Switch/Sensor
The temperature control varies the cycle time of the heating element to achieve a set cooking temperature. Temperature controls connect to the wiring harness using terminals.
Fan Motor
Cooking appliance fans circulate air in oven cavities for more even cooking, and remove heat from sensitive areas. Fan motors connect to the wiring harness using either terminals or multi-position connectors like MATE-N-LOK connectors.
