ECONOMY CLUSTER BLOCKS
Housings and contacts
Designed for compressors
The requirement
Economical connection solutions are required for hermetic compressor applications in refrigerators and
air conditioners. Some of these applications require products that are compliant with the Glow Wire test
(GWT) per the the IEC60335-1 standard.
TE Connectivity’s solution
TE Connectivity (TE) has developed new cluster block housings that are used with a new pin receptacle
to provide cost effective cluster block connections for hermetic compressors. The housings are offered
in both standard glass-filled PBT material and glass-filled PBT material meeting both the GWT and UL
94 V-0 requirement.
KEY FEATURES
• Low contact insertion force permits easy
assembly
• High contact retention force helps assure
connection continuity
• Product design is compatible with automated
assembly processes
• Choice of housings includes model complying
with GWT* and UL 94 V-0 for use outside of
compressors
* Compliant with Glow Wire test required by IEC/
EN 60335-1 5th edition: Household and Similar
Appliances-Safety.
