Connector System Eases Harness Assembly December 2005 Issue Published Date: December 14, 2005
Addressing harness configurations where the risk of mismating or signal failure is high, the VersaBlade connector system promises maximum mating reliability, easy assembly, and cost savings when compared to round-pin style connectors. It consists of three components: 1.78-mm wide flat blade tab terminals, multi-configured modular housings, and terminal position assurance inserts. Via the blade terminals, the system accepts AWG 14-to-22 wire and handles voltage and current levels up to 300V and 15A, respectively. Other system features include lead-free tin-plating. Two housing styles for pre-configured wire-to-wire types and multi-branch types are available that mate to a common panel-mount housing unit. Both styles are molded of UL 94V-0 polyester. Pricing for a four-circuit mated pair is $0.73 each/1,000. MOLEX INC., Lisle, IL. (630) 969-4550.
