TE Connectivity (TE)’s GRACE INERTIA connector brings its error-proofing, locking design to 10 A wire-to-board connections in 2- and 3-position configurations in a space-saving 6.0 mm centerline pitch. GRACE INERTIA connectors are designed to prevent contact between receptacle contacts and header contacts when improper mating is attempted. Additionally, the design employs inertia force that assists in mating the connector, preventing half mating. The 6.0 mm pitch delivers medium power connections in a more compact design.

Features and Benefits

• Compact pitch reduces overall connector size, saving valuable space on the printed circuit board

• Connector design prevents contact between receptacle contacts and header contacts prior to proper mating

• No half-mating. Design drives mating halves together when spring latch inertia is overcome by the assembler

• There is an audible “click” that signals when mating is complete and plug and header are latched together
