Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors are the industry standard power connector for a variety of applications, including appliances, industrial machinery, and building equipment. Engineers value these connectors for design versatility and TE continues to introduce innovative Universal MATE-N-LOK products to solve the latest power design challenges. The connector system features a variety of specialized connectors, including flanged, bulkhead, sealed, and twist and lock options, that can be used in wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, and panel mount designs. Universal MATE-N-LOK housings feature polarization, positive locking, and rear cavity identification for easy, error resistant assembly. Housings accept both pin and socket contacts and these contacts can be intermixed in the same housing.

Reflow Capable Universal MATE-N-LOK Connectors
Reflow capable Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors were developed to allow printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers to adopt reflow soldering assembly processes without sacrificing design flexibility. The thermoplastic housing is engineered to both withstand high reflow soldering temperatures and to mate with standard Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors.
Glow-wire, V-0 Universal MATE-N-LOK Connectors
Universal MATE-N-LOK cap and plug housings, as well as headers, are now available in material meeting the Glow Wire test (GWT) requirement according to IEC 60335-1 5th edition (750°C, without flame), plus the requirements of UL 94 V-0. These housings are compatible with standard Universal MATE-N-LOK pins and sockets.
Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK Connectors
Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK connector system offers secure, error-proof assembly for low-power applications. It features polarized housings, lanceless contacts, and options for free hanging, panel mount, and wire-to-board designs. Additional options include splash-proof seals and gold-plated contacts. Ideal for appliances, medical equipment, and industrial controls.
Micro MATE-N-LOK Connector System
Micro MATE-N-LOK 3mm connector system offers customizable wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, and panel mount power connectors. All Micro MATE-N-LOK connectors contain a positive latching mechanism to prevent unmating and have many optional features, including a choice of contact type, material flammability rating, and housing configuration.
Commercial MATE-N-LOK Connectors
Commercial MATE-N-LOK connectors offer reliable, versatile wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connections with a 5.08mm centerline. Designed for high-performance applications, they support 30-14 AWG wire sizes and can handle up to 600 VAC. These connectors feature dual locking lances for secure engagement and are UL 94-V2 certified, ensuring flame resistance. Perfect for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors feature an optional splashproof seal to convert the standard connector into a robust, IP-rated solution for more demanding environments. Watch this video to learn more!
