TE Connectivity Universal MATE-N-LOK Family – Commercial MATE-N-LOK Series | Standard Density 200 [5.08] Centerline Commercial Pin and Socket Connectors:

5.0 mm Power Key Connectors are for power circuits of home appliances, especially targeting gas appliances. The connector features four kinds of keying per housing. Only color-coding of housings limited the efficiency of blind mating where you could not see connectors. However, the new keying mechanism not only improves assembly efficiency but also helps prevent mismating. Part numbers involved can be reduced so that purchasing and stock level control can be made simpler.

Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors utilize a combination of pins and sockets intermixed in the plug and cap housings to achieve excellent electrical performance in a .250 [6.35] pitch design. Rated to 600VAC/VDC and 19A, these offer wire-to-wire, wire-to-panel, and wire-to-board configurations. Housings feature positive polarization, positive locking, and rear cavity identification for easy, error resistant assembly. Contacts are enclosed in the housings and are removable for system flexibility. Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors offer numerous options including circular, flanged, bulkhead, sealed, and colored housings in various materials (including Glow Wire compliant) to offer solutions for many diverse applications. Another product line within this family is the commercial MATE-N-LOK connector system. These products are .200 [5.08] pitch and rated 250VAC/ VDC and 19A.
