POWER KEY CONNECTORS
Quick Reference Guide
The TE Connectivity (TE) power key connectors are built to optimize contact
seating and proper mating to the PCB header, with design features that permit
the release of bubbles created by the PCB potting process. The 5.0 mm centerline
connection system offers a compact 20.7 mm mated height, and is ergonomically
friendly for assembly. Power key connectors are available in various colors and keys
to help prevent mis-mating, and also offer double lock plates as Terminal Position
Assistance (TPA) devices. The power key connector system uses housing lances
to prevent tangling of wired contacts, and consists of plug housings for wire and
compact wire-to-board PCB header assemblies. This connector family now includes
models that are GWT compliant and meet UL 94 V-0.

DESIGN-IN QUESTIONS
1.
What are the current and voltage requirements for your
application?
The power key connector system has a maximum current rating of 10 A per
line (based on initial t-rise vs. current testing using 16 AWG in a 2 position
connector) and is rated for 300 Volts AC.
7.
What is the benefit of choosing a plug with locking
levers surrounded by walls?
The power key connector system offers walls that surround the locking
levers to protect them, while also helping to prevent wires and connectors
from tangling during manufacturing and assembly, potentially improving
assembly efficiency.
2.
What are the wire type and size requirements?
The power key connector system is approved for use with 26-16 AWG wire
with an insulation range between 1.3 mm and 3.1 mm.
8.
What is the benefit of choosing a header with a
polarization peg (boss)?
The power key connector system offers headers with polarization pegs to
polarize the headers to the PCB so the header cannot be placed on the PCB
in the wrong orientation. For more information regarding PCB layout please
refer to the header product drawing.
3.
What are the number of positions and available space?
The power key connector system is wire-to-board configuration, available in
2, 3, 4 and 6 positions on centerline spacing 5.0 mm. The maximum height
of the wire wire-to-board system is 20.7 mm.
4.
What are the operating temperature requirements?
The power key connector system has an operating temperature range from
-30°C to +105°C. For more information regarding operating temperatures
refer to Product Specification 108-5699.
9.
What is the benefit of choosing a header with kink? Is
the product applicable for PCB board coating?
The power key headers offers a kink in the solder tail which secures the
header on the board firmly while soldering. Board mounted headers
are compatible with resin or conformal coatings on PCB board, and are
designed to release bubbles created by the coating process.
5.
Is contact back-out a concern?
To ensure the contacts are seated, the power key connector system offers
an optional double lock plate. The purpose of the double lock plate as a
TPA device is two-fold: 1) allows contacts to be fully seated in the housing
and 2) it helps prevent the possibility of contact disengagement when wires
are exposed to external pressure.
10. What is the benefit of choosing glow wire housings?
Power key plug housings and headers are now available in material meeting
the Glow Wire test (GWEPT) requirement according to IEC 60335-1 5th
edition (750°C, without flame), as well as the requirements of UL 94
V-0. Given that they meet both the GWEPT and V-0 requirements, these
housings are targeted for use by manufacturers of appliances and other
goods for the global market covering European, Asia Pacific and American
flammability needs.
Applicable parts comply with Glow Wire flammability index (GWFI) 850°C
at least, according to IEC 60335-1, Glow Wire flammability test for end-
products (GWEPT) 750°C No Flame, according to IEC 60335-1 and UL 94
V-0.
6.
Do you need to differentiate this connector from other
connectors in the application?
The power key connector system offers multiple options of colored
housings (natural, red, blue and yellow) for easier connector identification
during manufacturing and assembly. Multiple keyings are also offered to
prevent mismating between different plugs and headers, and only plugs and
headers with the same keying can be mated.
