Glow Wire Universal MATE-N-LOK Connectors

Universal MATE-N-LOK cap and plug housings, as well as headers, are now available in material meeting the Glow Wire test (GWT) requirement according to IEC 60335-1 5th edition (750°C, without flame), plus the requirements of UL 94 V-0. Based on the well-established 6.35mm (0.25”) centerline pitch, the new housings are compatible with standard Universal MATE-N-LOK pins and sockets. Given that they meet both the GWT and V-0 requirements, the new housings and headers are targeted for use by manufacturers of appliances and other goods for the European and American markets.
