Extended Length 110 Positive Lock Housing
A choice of housings is now available for use with the 110 series low profile Positive Lock receptacle in gas igniter applications. A new 1 inch (25.4 mm) long housing is now offered in addition to the previous 0.78 inch (19.8 mm) long housing. This new, longer housing accommodates deeper terminal cavities within some gas igniters. Gas igniter designs are not standardized across manufacturers, but they typically use .110 x .032 inch (2.8 x 0.8 mm) tabs within cavities or shrouds for electrical connections. With a choice of housings and our 110 series low profile Positive Lock receptacle, TE now offers a potential solution for a greater variety of space-constrained gas igniter applications.
