New plastic locking levers for HDC Connectors

TE Connectivity (TE) has extended its portfolio of heavy duty connectors (HDCs) with a new range of cost-effective thermoplastic locking levers, which are ideal for industrial applications that do not require stainless steel enclosures. Made of industrial thermoplastic, they help to reduce corrosion and are simple to exchange without any tools. TE Connectivity (TE) has extended its portfolio of heavy duty connectors (HDCs) with a new range of cost-effective thermoplastic locking levers, which are ideal for industrial applications that do not require stainless steel enclosures. Made of industrial thermoplastic, they help to reduce corrosion and are simple to exchange without any tools. Fully compatible with already available hoods from TE’s HDC IP65 product series (see catalogue), these lightweight variant levers require reduced retention force during locking and unlocking operations, making the mating process more user-friendly. The movable locking mechanism lifetime lasts a minimum of 100 mating cycles. Maintenance is very easy due to the availability of spare locking levers, which are sold separately.

 

Key Features / Benefits

• Cost effective alternative compared to stainless steel – against same performance
• Reduced corrosion because of Industrial Thermoplastic material
• The lever is exchangeable without any tool needed
