POWER TRIPLE LOCK
CONNECTORS
Quick Reference Guide
TE Connectivity (TE) POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system offers high performance
with a functional design. From the audible lock to the many added customer benefits,
the POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector system has been specifically developed for
better power and signal applications. For 3-in-1 reliability, the system offers 3 enhanced
methods of connectivity, making your design connections better in every way. It locks
in three ways. Cap (or header) and plug latch together. The CPA-connector position
assurance-device locks the cap (or header) and plug together. The TPA-terminal
position assurance-device helps assure terminals are fully seated and remain that way.
Three material options support standard 105°C, high temperature 150°C and glow wire
applications. Four keying options, multiple colors and snagless design features help
assure fast, accurate connections on the assembly line. Up to 15 positions are offered
on 6mm spacing.
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector has been developed for improved power and signal applications. The connector system is
ergonomically designed to minimize repetitive fatigue while providing many added customer benefits for performance assurance.
For complete 3 in 1 reliability, the benefits include:
• Audible ‘lock’ latch provides positive feedback when Cap & Plug are mated, while the ribs surrounding the latch prevent wires
from becoming snagged underneath the latch.
• Optional Connector Position Assurance (CPA) ensures that, once engaged, the POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector cannot be
mistakenly disengaged
• Optional Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) ensures that contacts are fully seated within the housing and provides an added
measure against contact backout
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector is available in three levels of housing materials with keying/color code to prevent mismating on the assembly line:
Standard 105°C: Natural, Purple, Blue, Yellow
High temperature 150°C: Light Gray, Red, Black, Natural
Glow Wire: Dark Gray, Brown, Green, Orange
With a centerline space of 6.0mm, the reduced size of the POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector offers high performance with a
functional design. POWER TRIPLE LOCK connectors have a low mating force and low insertion force.
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector has an extensive family line, ranging from panel mount caps to board mount headers in
vertical and right angle styles to meet your everyday design needs.

Connector System
THE MAKE FIRST, BREAK LAST POWER TRIPLE LOCK CONNECTOR SYSTEM
The make first, break last (MFBL) POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector is designed for applications where there are specific grounding
requirements. It allows the ground to be established prior to the power connections being made, and the ground is maintained until
after the power connections are broken.
This 6.0 mm centerline, POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector offers three positions. It has a new cap, plug, ground tab and receptacle
while utilizing other components from the standard POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector family. It provides the secure connection and
easy assembly of the POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector family.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1. What are the operating temperature requirements?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector offers all V-0 materials, with standard product made from a PBT material, rated at 105°C. For
high temperature applications, like cooking, materials are available for 150°C.
Q2. What is the benefit of choosing glow wire housings?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector offers glow wire housings that allow manufacturers of home appliances to comply with the
IEC 60335-1 standard.
Q3. What are the current and voltage requirements for your application?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector has a maximum current rating of 20 amps per line and is rated for 600 VAC or VDC. Refer to
product specification 108-106118 (plugs/caps) / 108-32090 (headers) for de-rating chart.
Q4. What are the wire size requirements?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector can accommodate single wire ranges from 12 AWG to 22 AWG, and double wires from 2X18
AWG to 2X22 AWG.
Q5. In what circuit count is the POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector offered?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector is available from 2 to 15 positions, with both free hanging and panel mount housings; the
printed circuit header version from 2 to 5 positions.
Q6. Do I need to use the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) device and the Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) device?
The CPA and TPA devices are offered for this POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector as options. Many customers are now asking for
these devices in some or all of their applications as added security to help ensure the connector halves remain together once mated
and ensure contact retention in each circuit cavity.
Q7. Do you offer Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) devices for Matrix (3 row) housings?
Yes. The Matrix housings are designed to accept 1 single row and 1 dual row TPA.
Q8. What connector keying options are offered for the Power Triple Lock connector?
The POWER TRIPLE LOCK connector is available in 4 keying options for all connector ranges. This means that the same position
size connector can be used in different harnesses, but with different keying to prevent mismating and different colors to facilitate
identification.
