TE Connectivity
Val-U-Lok connector system
The Val-U-Lok from Tyco Electronics is a wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connector system with 4.2 x 4.2mm centreline.
This connector system finds use in a variety of applications, including the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, vending, gaming and appliance industries.
Previously called PE series, the line has been renamed to highlight its value proposition.
Val-U-Lok connectors are a lower cost, fully intermateable and interchangeable alternative to the Molex Mini-Fit Jr.
Series connectors are also intermateable with Amp-Duac connectors.
The Val-U-Lok system consists of: contacts for 26 to 18 AWG wire; plug and receptacle connector housings for free-hanging and panel-mount applications; and board-mount right-angle, vertical, or blind-mate header assemblies.
Sizes range from two to 24 positions for double-row configurations and three to five positions for single-row versions.
The header assemblies come with pre-loaded contacts and may be installed on the printed circuit board manually or automatically using robotic equipment.
All housings are polarised for easier mating and locking latches help maintain reliable connections.
This system is available in UL 94 V-2 or UL 94 V-0 flammability rated nylon with contacts in brass or phosphor bronze with tin or gold plating.
RoHS-compliant, lead-free line to help promote a cleaner environment, the connector system is UL Component recognised and CSA certified.
