GRACE INERTIA
CONNECTOR SERIES
Quick Reference Guide
TE Connectivity’s (TE)
GRACE INERTIA connector series offers
the design-in variety needed for always-on connectivity. GRACE
INERTIA connectors employ an inertia locking mechanism to
simultaneously complete the circuit and “lock” the connector,
which
is an excellent solution for helping to eliminate human error during
assembly.
This feature can improve mating reliability, helps prevent
mismatching, and can reduce
the need for complicated inspection
processes.
These wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connectors can be
used in a wide range of applications ranging from home appliances
and air conditioners to transportation solutions.

GRACE INERTIA Connector Series
Quick Reference Guide
DESIGN-IN QUESTIONS
1.
Would you like to help ensure complete mating of the
connectors in your application?
The GRACE INERTIA connector series mates to simultaneously
complete the circuit and then locks for in-connector mating
reliability.
Furthermore, visual inspection for half mating is difficult and is a
cause of complicated inspection processes. The GRACE INERTIA
connector series uses a lock-on mechanism that does not pass an
electric current if it is half mated. This makes it possible to detect
half mated connections during an electrical conductivity test, which
enables you to help prevent defective products caused by half
mating.
5.
How many positions do you need, and do you need a wire-
to-wire or wire-to-board connector?
The GRACE INERTIA connector series offers both wire-to-wire and
wire-to-board configurations depending on the centerline. These
configurations are available in various positions depending on the
centerline selected. Refer to page 1 of the quick reference guide to
see the positions available for each centerline.
6.
What are the operating temperature requirements?
The GRACE INERTIA connector series has an operating temperature
range from -30°C to +105°C.
7.
Is contact back-out a concern?
To ensure the contacts are seated, the GRACE INERTIA connector
series offers optional double lock plates in the 3.3mm and 3.5mm
centerline options. Additional double lock plate options are coming
soon. Talk to your sales representative for more information.
2.
For what type of application are you seeking a connector?
These connectors can be used in a wide range of products from
home appliances to vending machines and are a solution that can
help eliminate human error during assembly.
3.
What are the current and voltage requirements for your
application?
GRACE INERTIA connectors have varying current and voltage
requirements for the various centerline options. Refer to the chart
on page 1 of the quick reference guide to view the current and
voltage capabilities of our various centerline options.
8.
Do you need to differentiate this connector from other
connectors in the application?
The GRACE INERTIA connector series offer multiple options of
colored housings (natural, red, blue, and yellow) for easier connector
identification during manufacturing and assembly. Multiple keying
options are also offered to prevent mismating between the various
plug and header/cap options.
4.
What are the wire size and type requirements?
GRACE INERTIA connectors accept wire sizes from #26 to #12
AWG, varying on number of positions and centerline pitch. A table
on page 1 of the quick reference guide provides an overview. Details
about wire size can be found in the 108 product specifications and
114 application specifications accessible on te.com. Contact your
sales representative for more information.
9.
Will you be applying a conformal coating to your PC
board?
GRACE INERTIA headers are designed to be compatible with
various board coatings.
