● The thicker the wire, the less the current is reduced due to internal resistance, allowing higher current to be supported. Moreover, because the resistance is decreased by using a thick wire, it's possible to reduce the generation of heat. In addition, the wire also has a role in expelling heat from inside the connector.
● Connectors generally have a great number of circuits (number of cores), so the carried current becomes reduced. Also, the higher the ambient temperature, the more the carried current will be reduced. (See graph)

MISUMI
Caution
Product Description
High voltage support housing with preventing mechanism against fitting errors. 1 pack contains 20 pieces

● Since male (pin) contact and female (socket) contact can be mounted together in the same housing, you can prevent erroneous insertion to the wrong housing depending on the combination.
● Available from Misumi as a pack, this product has an original Misumi model number.
● Manufacturer: Tyco Electronics

Rated Current: 10A (At the time of, AWG14 or 2.0 mm2)
Rated Voltage: 600V AC (UL, CSA), AC380V (VDE)
Compatible Wire Size: AWG24 – AWG14 or 0.2 mm2 – 2.0 mm2
* Rated value is the value when incorporating a dedicated contact.

· Quantity: 20 pcs. / pack. Please note.

Features
● Universal MATE-N-LOK connector is a compact nylon connector that is compliant with UL and CSA standards at 600 V, and the VDE standard at 380 V.
● Because there is directionality for both the socket and the plug, correct coupling to the connector body can be always performed.
● Because the housing can be mounted regardless of the contact gender, incorrect insertion of male and female contacts is prevented. (Note 1)
● Because the housing uses UL94V-0 compliant nylon material with excellent durability and safety, it is considered to be a suitable connector even for use in FA equipment.
● PRO-CRIMPER can be also used for crimping various nylon connectors by simply exchanging the die.
It is also economically superior since there is no need to buy an expensive dedicated tool.
● UL No.E28476
