The VAL-U-LOK product line has been expanded with new models accommodating
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) devices to help prevent contact back-out and
a new material meeting both the glow wire test and UL 94 V-0. These additions
to the 4.2 mm (.165 in) centerline product family are double row devices. Rated
up to 600VAC and up to 9A per line, they offer up to 24 positions as panel mount
plugs, free-hanging plugs and receptacles. The new connectors with TPAs are
intermatable with existing VAL-U-LOK connectors and headers, supporting wire-to-
panel, wire-to-wire and wire-to-board applications.
New crimp, pin-and-socket contacts for discrete 26-18 AWG wires are designed
for the new housings and work with the TPA devices. Snapping the TPA devices
into place helps to assure contacts are fully seated in the housing and provides
secondary protection against a contact backing out of its cavity when subjected to
vibration, shock or pulling force.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need confirmation that the contacts are seated? Is contact back-out a concern?
New models in the VAL-U-LOK connector system accept optional TPA devices. These devices help assure
the contacts are fully seated in the housing and they help protect against potential disengagement when
the wires are exposed to external pressure.
What is the physical configuration of the interconnection?
VAL-U-LOK connector system offers wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, and wire-to-panel configurations.
What are the current and voltage requirements for your application?
VAL-U-LOK connectors have a maximum current rating of 9 Amps in 2 position application, and they are
rated 600 Volts AC/DC.
What are the flammability requirements for your application?
VAL-U-LOK connectors are offered with various housings rated UL 94 V-0, UL 94 V-2 and Glow Wire Test
material according to IEC 60335-1.
What are the number of positions for the TPA version?
The housings of the VAL-U-LOK connector system designed for use with the optional TPA device are
available in 2-24 position, dual row configurations.
What are the operating temperature requirements?
The VAL-U-LOK connector system has a maximum operating temperature of 105°C. For more information
regarding operating temperatures refer to Product Specification 108-2112.
What is the benefit of choosing glow wire housings?
The VAL-U-LOK connector system offers glow wire rated housings that allow manufacturers of home
appliances sold into the European market to comply with the IEC/EN 60335-1 5th edition standard and
the possibility to use the TPAs (sold as optional) as error proofing devices.
