With 3-in-1 reliability and snag-free design, this product offers material options, keying features, color options, ratings to 20A, and efficient 6 mm centerline spacing.

Power Connectors with 3-in-1 Locking
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system is designed to help deliver secure, reliable power and signal connections through a unique three-in-one locking mechanism. It combines a primary latch between the cap (or header) and plug, a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) device that locks the two components together, and a Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) device that helps ensure terminals are fully seated and secure. These integrated features provide enhanced connection integrity and reduce the risk of failure in demanding applications. The POWER TRIPLE LOCK system also offers optional features tailored to specific needs, including versions that pass 750 °C glow wire testing and meet Make First, Break Last (MFBL) grounding requirements.
