TE Connectivity Positive Lock Connector with X-LIF Terminals

TE Connectivity’s Positive Lock Multi-Position Connectors with Extra Low Insertion Force (X-LIF) Terminals are ergonomically designed connector terminals with extra low insertion force. These positive lock connectors are designed to meet industry demands for improved manufacturing efficiency and easier part mating with multiple Printed Circuit Board (PCB) position tabs. The positive lock connectors with X-LIF terminals feature asymmetrical housing that eliminates the risk of mismating or half-mating. These connector terminals include a positive lock system to ensure a reliable connection with audible mating confirmation and high retention force. The X-LIF terminals exhibit unlocking features that allow easy separation from tabs. The typical applications include air conditioners, microwave ovens, and PCB panels.
