Tyco introduces latch locking collar for Solarlok
TE Connectivity
Connector latch locking collar
Tyco has introduced a connector latch locking collar for Solarlok cable connectors, which can be applied to mated connectors to prevent inadvertent or accidental unmating.
The collar locks over the mated connection to prevent access to the release mechanism of the mated connectors.
The collar allows tooled extraction, requiring only a small flathead screwdriver to be inserted into a slot in the collar for release.
Made of rugged durable plastic (UV rated to F-1), the connector latch locking collars meet NEC 2008 Article 690.33(c) requirements plus the recommendations of the 2008 National Electrical Code, section 609, for positive-locking protection with tooled extraction.
The collar also meets UL 1741 photovoltaic requirements as a photovoltaic connector accessory to the Solarlok connector product line.
The locking collar is designed for exposed mated cable couplers, including wire-to-wire applications and wire-to-junction box applications where connectorised boxes are used.
The latch locking collar enhances safety and reliability by allowing connectors to be disconnected only after the collar has been released.
