ValuSeal™ Wire-to-Wire Connector System Achieve industry-leading cost efficiencies plus IP65 sealing protection with the innovative, one-piece ValuSeal™ Wire-to-Wire Connector, ideal for consumer, non-automotive transportation and industrial applications Features and Benefits IP65-rated, integrated wire-and-ring seal (for wire type: 16 AWG UL1061, 18 AWG UL1007, 18 AWG UL1095) Eliminates ingress of dust and protects against low-pressure jets of water from all directions. Operates in harsh, wet environments. Creates design and cost efficiencies One-piece housing design Simplifies assembly process to create cost savings. Boosts efficiency by reducing number of components Compact 4.00mm pitch Enhances design flexibility in applications where space is severely limited Positive latch Ensures proper mating and high-disengagement force between the plug and receptacle Integrated wire strain-relief in the connector body Prevents over-bending and failure of wire at the connector body. Eliminates leak-paths often found in other connector systems Crimp-and-poke wire assembly Simplifies wire assembly for added cost efficiency 2-circuit connector currently available; 4-circuit coming in Q2 2017 Two circuit sizes will offer design flexibility ValuSeal™ Mated Plug and Receptacle 2-Circuit Plug and Receptacle Applications Consumer Appliances Washers Refrigerators HVAC Equipment Commercial Vehicle (Non-Automotive Transportation) ATV / Motorcycles / Watercraft Marine; Under Dash Wiring, Engines Forklifts, Trucks, Trailers, Buses Robotics Marine Tractors Home Appliance Aviation RVs Industrial Robotics Industrial Machines and Motors Food Processing Equipment/Plants Industrial Controls Medical Disposable Equipment In-Room / Patient Monitoring Equipment Others Outdoor Lighting Smart Metering Lawn and Garden Tractors HVAC Equipment ValuSeal™ Wire-to-Wire Connector System Target Specifications REFERENCE INFORMATION Packaging: Bulk UL File No.: E29179 Designed In: Millimeters RoHS: Yes Halogen Free: No Glow Wire Compliant: No NEMA Rating: IP65 (wire types: 16 AWG UL1061, 18 AWG UL1007, 18 AWG UL1095) MECHANICAL Contact Insertion Force (max.): 40N Contact Retention to Housing (min.): 60N Mating Force (max.): 50N Unmating Force (min.): 14N Durability (min.): 25 cycles Housing: Polypropylene Contact: Copper (Cu) Alloy Plating: Contact Area — Tin PCB Thickness: TBD Operating Temperature: -40 to +85°C ELECTRICAL Voltage (max.): 250V Current (max.): 11.0A Contact Resistance: 10 milliohms Dielectric Withstanding Voltage: TBD Wire Gauge Range: 16 to 18 AWG PHYSICAL Ordering Information Series No. Component Gender 172877 Housing Male 172878 173041 Female Terminal Male 173042 173061 Female Cavity Plug Used in Plug and Receptacle Circuit Size Wire Gauge 2 (1x2) --- --- 16 to 18 AWG All --- 4 (2x2) coming in Q2 2017 Application Tooling Information Tooling specifications and manuals are found by selecting the products below.
