Versatility for Your Design Needs
This product family offers the same reliability you’ve come to expect with TE wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connectors, plus added versatility for your everyday and changing design needs. While the entire low power drawer family of connectors are typically used within business and retail equipment (BRE) applications, their use can be extended to other applications with similar requirements. The power drawer interconnects add a stronger front-end design and improved functionality to the standard CT or Mini CT connector interface. The hybrid CT and Mini CT connectors offer a match for mixed power and signal, with versatility and cost savings through a mix-and-match approach to your design. Many offer “dog ears” to ensure a great fit. Let us help you find your perfect fit for your next printer, control panel, or ATM drawer design with this low power drawer family of interconnects.

Family of Low Power Drawers
Common Terminator Drawer
The CT and Mini CT drawer connector systems are made up of plug and receptacle housings. These housings are loaded from the back with a standard CT or Mini CT cable assembly. The loaded housings are then mated together, allowing wire-to-wire connections with higher mating cycle counts, alignment, and blind mating.
Common Terminator Hybrid Drawer
The CT and Mini CT hybrid drawer connector systems offer the same benefits as CT and Mini CT drawer series with the added capability to move higher power within the same mated set. This functionality is accomplished through additional power positions. The result is a robust mixed power and signal connector.
Standard Hybrid Drawer
The standard drawer connector system does not use the CT or Mini CT interface. It offers multiple configurations for mixed power and signal applications for direct wire-to-wire and wire-to-board combinations.
