Three Position Cap & Plug Housings

TE Connectivity (TE) introduces three position housings on a 7 mm centerline for use with crimp type 250 series FASTIN-FASTON tabs and FASTON receptacles. The multi-position mounted FASTIN-FASTON housings (MMF) are designed to improve ergonomics for workers. The housings have larger pressing surfaces, rounded edges and snag-free features. Unlike some competitive housings, the new TE housings meet customer demands for both UL 94 V-0 and GWT 750°C, no flame requirements. They are used on air conditioners and similar applications. The three-position housings speed up the assembly process, permitting three simultaneous connections, rather than three individual connections.
