In order to meet the market's demand for multi-functional products, TE Connectivity (TE) has launched a new dual-row wire-to-wire panel fixed connection solution - 6-position Power Locking Lug (PDL) connector. The connector adopts a new type of resin material, locking tabs and ergonomic round edge design, which can provide the option of complying with the glow wire standard (GWT), and has a terminal double locking function (TPA) and excellent handling performance.


James Dunbar, global power and signal interconnect product manager of TE Home Appliances Business Unit, said, "This PDL panel mount connector is mated with the other two 4-position and 2-position sockets, and the asymmetrical structural design can effectively prevent mistakes. This product can carry 9A/300VAC working current, conforms to GWT standard, and is a very competitive solution for home appliance customers.”


This PDL connector meets UL94 V-0 and IEC 60335-1 standards. The TPA terminal locking insert can prevent the terminal from loosening in a random vibration environment, and can completely avoid the potential risk of the terminal not being locked to the correct position in the plastic case; at the same time, it can provide additional retention force for the terminal , to make the joint of the connector more reliable and further improve product performance. Another great benefit of this connector is the ergonomic rounded edge design, which helps to increase the productivity of plant operators. James Dunbar said: "Our products integrate the above functions together to meet the needs of different customers from all over the world."


This 6-position PDL connector is based on a pitch of 6.6X8.5mm, and the applicable panel size is 30.6mm wideX18.7mm high, and can crimp wires with a diameter of 16 to 26AWG. At the same time, it is compatible with similar products on the market, which is conducive to simple replacement
