QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
POWER
TRIPLE
LOCK
The new POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system has been developed for improved power and signal applications.
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system has many added customer benefits for performance assurance.
SECURES CONNECTION IN 3 WAYS
Cap & Plug latch together
CPA - Connector Position Assurance
TPA - Terminal Position Assurance
4 KEYING & COLOR OPTIONS
Ensure correct assembly
Single audible “click” latch
with anti-snag ribs
3 HOUSING MATERIALS
Standard 105°C
High temperature up to 150°C
Glow wire
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system is available in three levels of housing
materials with keying/color code to prevent mis-mating on the assembly line:
• Standard 105°C - Natural, Purple, Blue, Yellow
• High temperature up to 150°C – Light Grey
• Glow wire – Dark Grey, Brown, Green, Orange
With a centerline space of 6.0mm, the reduced size of the POWER TRIPLE LOCK
connector system oers high performance with a functional design.
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system has an extensive family line, ranging
from free hanging and panel mount receptacles to future products such as board
mount headers to meet your everyday design needs.
THE POWER TRIPLE LOCK
CONNECTOR SYSTEM
CAN BE USED IN MANY
APPLICATIONS:

For complete 3 in 1 reliability, the benefits include:
• Audible ‘lock’ latch provides positive feedback when Cap & Plug are mated, while the ribs surrounding the latch
prevent wires from becoming snagged underneath the latch.
• Optional Connector Position Assurance (CPA) ensures that, once engaged, the
POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system cannot be mistakenly disengaged
• Optional Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) ensures that contacts are fully seated
within the housing and provides an added measure against contact backout

Q1. What are the operating temperature requirements?
The new POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system oers all V-0 materials, with standard product made from a PBT material, rated at 105°C. For high temperature
applications, like cooking, materials are available for 150°C.
Q2. What is the benet of choosing glow wire housings?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system oers glow wire housings that allow manufacturers of home appliances to comply with the IEC 60335-1 standard.
Q3. What are the current and voltage requirements for your application?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system has a maximum current rating of 20 amps per line and is rated for 600 VAC or VDC. Refer to product specication
108-106118 for de-rating chart.
Q4. What are the wire size requirements?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system can accommodate single wire ranges from 12 AWG to 20 AWG, and double wires from 2X18 AWG to 2X20 AWG.
Q5. In what circuit count is the POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system oered?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system is available from 2 to 15 positions, with both free hanging and panel mount housings.
Q6. Do I need to use the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) device and the Terminal Position Assurance
(TPA) device?
The CPA and TPA devices are oered for this POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system as options. Many customers are now asking for these devices in some or all
of their applications as added security to help ensure the connector halves remain together once mated and ensure contact retention in each circuit cavity.
Q7. Do you oer Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) devices for Matrix (3 row) housings?
Yes. The Matrix housings are designed to accept 1 Single row and 1 Dual row TPA.
Q8. What connector keying options are oered for the POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system will be available in 4 keying options for all connector ranges. This means that the same position size connector can
be used in dierent harnesses, but with dierent keying to prevent mis-mating.
