Positive Lock Multi-Position Connectors

TE Connectivity’s positive lock multi-position connector with extra-low insertion force (X-LIF) terminal was developed to meet industry demands for improved production efficiency and easier part mating. The multi-position connector helps improve assembly efficiency by mating multiple printed circuit board (PCB) position tabs, while the positive lock feature and error-proof housing simplify assembly by preventing half-mated and mismated connectors.

Benefits

• Extra low insertion force (X-LIF) provides more ergonomic assembly
• Multi-position housing (3- or 4-position) increases assembly efficiency
• Asymmetrical housing eliminates the risk of mismating
• Positive lock system ensures reliable connection with audible mating confirmation and high retention force
• Terminal unlocking features allow easy separation from tabs
• Robust mechanical design reduces the likelihood of damage during assembly
