The retainer features added protection against non-insertion or disconnection.

• Housing lance

The resilient plastic housing lances secure the contacts in the housing. Since the lances are in the housings rather than on the contacts, they are not affected by handling, and allow the contacts to be lightly inserted without undue force. This establishes a feeling of uniform insertion and a noticeable change in that feeling when insertion is completed.

• Secondary retainers

The secondary retainers enhance safety in case of partial insertion or accidental release of the contact. Even if a contact is inserted incompletely, the retainer guides the contact to the proper position and securely locks it in place (except for connectors with three row construction and when AWG #16 wire is used.)

• Inter-housing lock

This inter-housing lock secures the plug to the receptacle and prevents accidental disconnection. The lock is protected and is not affected by external forces that might result from the routing of wires.

• Panel lock construction

Our unique compact panel lock is designed to prevent tangling with wires and accidental breakage because of handling.
