Crooked-insertion tolerant interconnects suit automotive applications

Providing dynamic and reliable connections with a novel contact design, utilizing both flat receptacles and tabs, TE Connectivity's Timer Interconnection System is now available from Mouser. The Timer System is relatively tolerant in regards to the positioning of the contact tabs in the housing. An additional advantage is that the contact system is, to a large degree, insensitive to crooked insertion. Even when the tabs are not straight the contact geometry ensures firm contact. The Timer Interconnection System has proven its reliability in the automotive industry for decades and it continues to be a popular choice among automotive connectors, says the company.
