The Positive Lock RAST 5
connector system has been
designed to mate with a
control, switch or printed
circuit board that has .250 x
.032 [6.35 x 0.81] thick tabs
built on 5 mm centerlines.
This system utilizes our
popular Positive Lock Mark
III Receptacles and a series
of housings to provide
customers with a reliable
solution to their wire
management needs. This
line of connectors offers
keying and polarization
features built into the
housings that eliminate
mismating and crossed
wires. Two through eight
circuit housings facilitate
improved assembly
operations and the Positive
Lock Terminal provides
excellent retention of the
connector.
The acronym RAST 5 in the
title is a reference to the
European design standard
for appliance wiring and
component design, “Raster
Anschluss Steck Technik
5 mm”. This standard
outlines a system of keying,
polarization and latching
that is popular in Europe
and other parts of the world.
The Positive Lock RAST 5
system has been designed
to mate with many of the
components built with a
RAST 5 standard interface.
This system is an excellent
way for OEMs or their
subcontractors to use
existing lead makers and
termination equipment to
produce connectors that
mate to controls with RAST
interfaces.
While the origins of this
product are in the appliance
industry, many other
industries are embracing
this style of connector.
Marine, exercise equipment
and hand tool manufacturers
are recent examples of
customers beginning to use
this system. Any application
where .250 x .032 [6.35 x
0.81] tabs are built on 5 mm
centerlines is a potential
candidate for this popular
connector system.

296599 for additional RAST
products.
