TE Connectivity 3.5 mm MULTILOCK 070 Series Automotive Connectors

MULTILOCK 070 series automotive connectors with a miniaturized design for use in automotive wire to wire and wire to board applications. These MULTILOCK 070 series have a compact design with high density 3.5 mm contact centres and are also durable and easy to handle. The housings of these MULTILOCK 070 automotive connectors protect the contacts against damage caused by rocking action (KOJIRI Action) that occurs at the mating and unmating stages. The MULTILOCK 070 plug and receptacle housings have a housing lance design enabling lanceless contacts to be used. The use of lanceless contacts avoids tangling and lance deformation is eliminated. The key feature of these MULTILOCK 070 connectors is the locking mechanism. The standard MULTILOCK 070 plug and receptacle housings feature an integral double lock mechanism on the wire side to ensure a secure contact retention. The MULTILOCK 070 Mk II plug housing has a locking mechanism consisting of a 2 piece double lock plate for secure contact retention and prevention of partial insertion.
The MULTILOCK 070 range of automotive connectors consists of plug and receptacle housings and PCB headers for use in wire to wire and wire to board applications. The plug housings require female crimp contacts, the receptacle housings require male tab contacts. Crimp contacts must be ordered separately.

This is a miniature high density connector system offering a wire to wire and wire to board I/O solution commonly used in the automotive industry but suitable for many varying signal transfer applications.
