The VAL-U-LOK connector system from Tyco Electronics is a low cost, wire to wire, wire to board connector system with 4.2mm centreline spacing.
Available in single row configurations with three to five positions and double row configurations with up to 24 positions, VAL-U- LOK receptacle housings mate with plug housings or PC board headers. The connectors can be used in both power and signal applications.
VAL-U-LOK connectors mate and are interchangeable with other 4.2mm centreline connectors. They feature a positive locking mechanism and a durability of 30 mate/unmate cycles. Rated mating force is 6.90N and unmating 0.49N.
Available in UL 94V-2 or UL 94V-0 flammability rated nylon, connectors are available in white, red, blue and black versions for applications where colour coding is helpful for assembly or maintenance.
Housings are available in both free-hanging and panel-mount varieties, while PCB headers can be supplied in vertical, right angle, screw mount and blind mate configurations.
With a choice of brass or phosphor-bronze contacts with Pb-free tin or gold plating, the devices can accommodate operating voltages up to 600VAC and currents up to 9A.
