Tab Receptacle
The PDL contacts are phosphor
bronze with pre-tin plating and
designed without lances to prevent
entanglement of contacts with one
another. The receptacle contact
gets loaded into the plug housings
and the tab contact gets loaded
into cap housings.
The semi-inner locking system
of the PDL design helps
eliminate unmating by external
force and the audible click helps
indicate the connector system
is fully latched. The smooth
compact design prevents
snagging when mated.

in the solder tail along with the
kink in the mounting boss which
secures the header on the board
fi rmly while soldering. Board-
mounted headers are compatible
with resin or conformal coatings
(no drain holes).

What are the current and voltage requirements for your application?
The power double lock connector system has a maximum current rating
of 14 Amps per line and is rated for 300 Volts AC/DC wire-to-wire and 50
Volts AC/DC wire-to-board.
What are the wire type and size requirements?
The power double lock connector system is approved for use with
26-16 AWG wire with an insulation range between 1.3 mm and 3.1 mm.
What are the number of positions and available space?
The power double lock connector system is available in select positions
(1-12) on four contact centerline spacings; 3.9 mm, 6.5 mm, 7.92 mm and
13.0 mm. The overall mated length of the free-hanging system is 38.7 mm
and the maximum height of the wire-to-board system is 25.5 mm.
What are the operating temperature requirements?
The power double lock connector system has a maximum operating
temperature of 105°C. For more information regarding operating
temperatures refer to Product Specifi cation 108-5410.
Is contact back-out a concern? Do you need confi rmation that the
contacts are seated?
The power double lock connector system offers an optional double lock
Questions that will help you better select the product that you need:
plate. The purpose of the double lock plate is two-fold: 1) allows contacts
to be fully seated in the housing and 2) it helps prevent the possibility of
contact disengagement when wires are exposed to external pressure.
Do you need to differentiate this connector from other connectors in the
application?
The power double lock connector system offers multiple optionsof colored
housings for ease of connector identifi cation during manufacturing and
assembly.
What is the benefi t of choosing a header with a polarization peg (boss)?
The power double lock connector system offers headers with or without
polarization pegs. The purpose of this feature is to polarize the headers
to the PCB so the header can not be placed on the PCB in the wrong
orientation. For more information regarding PCB layout please refer to the
header product drawing.
What is the benefi t of choosing a high force contact?
The power double lock connector system offers high force contacts for
use in applications where vibration is prominent. It is important to note
that the high force contacts increase the amount of mating force. Refer to
Product Specifi cation 108-5410 for more information.
What is the benefi t of choosing Lock Type II or Lock Type B
(non-standard) latch?
• Lock Type II is offered on the 3.96 mm plugs allowing for easier
unmating (more fi nger room to depress the latch).
• Lock Type B is offered on the 6.5 mm plugs providing a slightly lower
profi le and can be used when the application will not have to be
unmated often.
