Features and Benefits
In high vibration environments such as automotive and major appliances, DuraClik Connectors ensure a secure and reliable connection due to their retention force of up to 100N. The independent secondary lock (ISL) ensures terminals are fully inserted and securely locked, reducing the risk of signal loss or disconnection. The audible “click” upon proper mating and built-in inertia lock help reduce installation errors and enhance reliability. With extreme thermal conditions being specifically problematic, DuraClik Connectors are engineered to withstand high temperatures by delivering robust performance even in environments up to 125°C.
Duraclik Connectors, available with two to 15 circuits — including 13- and 15-circuit receptacle housings — offer options for tin and gold plating as well as vertical and right-angle header orientations. These features make them suitable for a wide range of applications including automotive LED lighting and washing machines. They are versatile enough to adapt to numerous design needs and meet rigorous automotive requirements conforming to LV214 (S2 vibration), ES91500-03, and SAE/USCAR-21 standards.
