APPLIANCES /// ECONOMY POWER 2.5 CONNECTORS
The Economy Power 2.5 (EP 2.5) connector is a single row or dual row crimp
connector system. Based on a 2.5mm (0.098”) centerline pitch, it is a very compact
solution. EP 2.5 connectors provide a comprehensive connectivity solution with
vertical and right angle headers, optional TPA retainers, wire-to-wire and wire-to-
board options and a range of resin materials that include types meeting Glow Wire
Test and UL 94 V-0 standards, as well as packaging to support automated board
assembly. Additionally, EP 2.5 connectors are intermateable with similar products
available in the market, facilitating simple retrofitting.
With board space increasingly at a premium, the EP 2.5 connector series oers
an ideal interconnection solution for densely packed printed circuit boards. EP
2.5 housings and contacts were designed to help workers on the shop floor. The
terminals have an asymmetrical shape. This means they can only be loaded into the
housing cavity one way – the right way. Ideal for household appliances, HVAC and
industrial machinery, EP 2.5 connectors oers this extensive portfolio for all design
needs and challenges.
