AMP
Power Double Lock (PDL) Connectors (Wire-to-Board and Wire-to-Wire)
Product Facts
I Power circuit connectors of
compact design
I Uses double lock plate on
the wire side that helps pre-
vent partial mating of contacts
I Double lock plate compati-
ble with high-count positions
of more than 3 rows
I Tab and receptacle contacts
resist scooping of contacts
at mating / unmating
I Locking of plug to cap hous-
ings and plug to board-
mounted headers made by
the semi-inner locking sys-
tem that helps preclude the
possibility of disengagement
by external pressure
I Both wire-to-wire and wire-
to-board applications avail-
able from the same Series
lineup
I Board-mounted header com-
patible with resin coating,
causing no hindrance with
the plug locking function
I Design complies with a
range of safety standards
I The housing lance design
provides no lance on con-
tacts and helps prevent
entanglement of contacts
with one another
I Fully polarized

Power Double Lock
Connectors are compact
connectors designed for use
in power circuit applications
and are ideally suited for
wiring in refrigerators, air
conditioners, washing
machines, gas equipment,
copying machines and
automatic vending
machines. These connec-
tors can be used alone by
inserting wire-terminated
crimp snap-in contacts into
the housing. However, to
achieve more positive con-
tact mounting, plug and cap
housings can be equipped
with a double lock plate
that helps to completely
insert contacts. There are
three contact centerline
spacings available: 3.96 mm,
6.5 mm and 7.92 mm. Of
these, the 7.92 mm center-
line contact arrangement is
for 2-position board-mounted
headers. The mating wire-
mounted plug connector
uses the second circuit of
the 3-position 3.96 mm
centerline housing with no
contact loaded. Available
with the 3.96 mm centerline
contact arrangement are
wire-mounted plug housings
and the mating wire-mounted
cap housings (for free-
hanging and panel mounted
applications) and board-
mounted tab headers.
The 6.5 mm centerline con-
tact arrangement is used in
wire-mounted plug hous-
ings and the mating board-
mounted tab headers. The
plug housings are loaded
with receptacle contacts
and the cap housings with
tab contacts. The tab head-
ers for board mounting are
preloaded with solder-dip-
ping tab contacts with tail.
Contacts accept two wire
size ranges: 28-22 AWG
(with insulation outer diame-
ter of 1.3 to 2.0 mm) and
20-18 AWG (with insulation
outer diameter of 2.0 to
3.1 mm).
The tab header for board
mounting has a locking
mechanism where it is com-
patible with resin coating
that is applied to the board
for waterproof.
It is designed to work with
the plug locking function.
The solder tail section of tab
contact has kink feature.
Interacting with the mount-
ing boss with kink feature,
the solder tab secures the
header on the board firmly
during soldering.
The double lock plate is
compatible with high-count
positions of more than
3 rows. Also, the housing
lance design of this connec-
tor, featuring no lance on
contacts, makes handling
of the connector very easy,
as there is minimal entan-
glement of contacts with
one another.
